Tandy Color Computer in the Year 2025!
July 2025 rings in the TANDY Radio Shack Color Computer 1’s 45th birthday. I doubt the designers thought the CoCo (or any of the TANDY systems) would be still in use in 2025, much less supporting 2 major conventions and a significant presence in a half dozen more expos throughout the year. While I admit 45 is not the milestone that 50 commands, that’s but 5 short years away! In any case, I wonder if there’s a way to have a virtual “cake” across the globe for the CoCo 1 in July. Ideas are welcome.
Just like software or hardware bugs frustrate and delay finishing that next impressive program or project, it seems like a fair number of the seasonal medical “bugs” hit home during November and December. I hope all of you skipped those. In any case, I am behind on updating the Tandy Retro Show 2025 web site and finalizing the schedule. I’ll try to do so this week, so we can enjoy our virtual expo. The good news is that there is still time to send in a presentation idea, but the window will close quickly.
This Thursday, we’ll open the floor for questions on both TRS 2025 and CoCoFEST! 2025, of which table reservations will open on February 1.
Please join us this Thursday. We will open the call a bit early at 7PM for some discussion and to help anyone with “technical difficulties”.
