Getting Started With Color Basic (Tandy)

This book kept me awake so many nights...kept me away from schoolwork so many days.  I was 14 at the time and addicted to my computer.  A whopping 4K of RAM and I initially thought 'How could anyone write a program that big'.  Well, in no time I had to upgrade to 16K via a hack posted in one of the monthly rags.  Cassette tape storage and you learned to make backups (additional copies) of your work.  You also learned the value of buying quality cassettes...
