The IIe came out probably five years after the TRS-80, I was in jr high by then... had a VIC20, C64, an elusive C128... tape drives and big floppies man, still have all that shit in a box somewhere lol. BBSes and dialup modems, 300 baud was de facto in the day, 1200 baud was pretty good and you were hot shit if you had a 2400 baud modem LOL... aah the good old days man
Love the Cougar! My folks had a green one just like that, with the sequential taillights and everything. Great stuff!
Yeah, you're right. The TRS-80 came out in 77, while the Apple IIe appeared in 83. 83 was way too late in the game so I must have had the Apple II Plus, which came out in 79. Probably sold it for the Cougar in 81 which was around 10th grade. The sequential tail lights were killer!
Long story short, ten years after I sold the Cougar, I got a knock on the door from the police. They wanted to ask me about it. It had been involved in a fatal crash. Yikes!!!

Thanks for the flashback! Rotary phone modem, not shown, sold separately. My dad has an original TRS-80 Model I, back before they added the numeric 10-key to the keyboard.
My first PC was a TRS-80 Model 4D (graduation gift). Learned how to hack assembly code on it. My first modem was 300 baud (~0.000000558793544769287109375 or 5.5879e-7 Gbps for those too young to know what baud means). I loved that keyboard. Never traded on it, though.
For what it's worth, 30 years ago nexusfi.com would be: Futures BBS (formerly known as BMT BBS). :bmt-rocks:
