My first computer was from the 1987 catalog, Tandy 1000 SX $1199, It really wasn't much of a computer compared to todays PC's. Thanks for posting the link Iceberg.

I have a few CASES of old satellite magazines and manuals and would love to send them to someone who could digitize them and post them here.

We're working on doing the same thing with TV Guide. It's going to take some time. Between myself and another guy know we have many of them.

A 1 MB HDD, like $1500! 300 baud! Yeah buddy, we was kickin' some butt back then! 1987 was the first time I seen a virus from the SCA (Swiss Crackers Association) on the Amiga computer. A few months later it got into the government computers and shut down thousands.
Anyway, I wish I had my old computers. Cool site, gotta show my friends and the kids!7.5' Perfect 10 with DMX741. Openbox S9 & Viewsat Ultra. Gbox V3000.
Looking to install a Primestar (Nice round one) motorized Ku & ? receiver.
May just buy a dish if the Primestar is too much hassle.
Oh yeah, TOO MANY REMOTES!

That would be interesting. Might even find a program or two I sold and had published in one of those mags. Originally Posted by Scott Greczkowski

Those catalogs remind me of the hay day of RadioShack. Back when the Pro2006 was king, cellphones were not main stream, and tone dialers could be used to have fun with Ma Bell.

Now smartphones are king and Ma Bell has turned into GrandMa Bell and slipping slowly into senility. Speaking of tone dialers, you can still buy them, check it out... Sad part is a tone dialer is still more expensive than a touch tone phone at wal-mart. Isn't that something.

Just was browsing the 1983 catalog and noticed that CB radios haven't changed in price much, now that is interesting.
