LGR - TRS-80 Color Computer Retrospective (Patreon)
Content
It's September, and that means #SepTandy! A celebration of all things Tandy that's happening across a number of retro tech YouTube channels throughout the month. And my entry into the event is now ready for viewing: a retrospective look back at the original TRS-80 Color Computer, forty years later!

Yeah I've been wanting to do a CoCo video for a while now, but since I was invited to take part in SepTandy this year it seemed like the perfect excuse to make it happen. Somehow it's one of those 8-bit computer ranges that I've never used until relatively recently, so it's been fun seeing what the little thing can do!
This video largely focuses on the original machine, although I did have to mention the CoCo 2, 3, and Dragon systems I have as well. Oddly enough, I think I ended up getting them in reverse order from newest to oldest over the years. But yeah, thanks to a donation from a viewer in Canada I can start with the original system and see how it works over four decades later.
UPDATE! I've added another minute or so of commentary and related video footage, added some new photos, tweaked several little edits and transitions, and so on. Should be the final version now. Hope you enjoy!
