My week at RadioShack Computer Camp in 1983

“Camp” was located in a small classroom in the very back of the store, so we’d have to salivate over the cutting-edge hardware on the way in, and again on the way out. The class featured two or three lines of desks, each holding five brand new TRS-80s. I really wanted to study BASIC, the layman’s language of choice that could be used to create full programs and games, but didn’t meet the age cutoff of 12 and ended up in turtle graphics.
