[Coco] Tandy 1000 (was: Another Radio Shack Article)

[Steve Batson]

I used to joke with some friends that the Tandy 1000 was more compatible than the IBM PC....LOL...I put PC DOS on it at one point and then MS-DOS version later, it would run most PC Jr programs and most IBM PC software. The IBM PC couldn't run some PC Jr stuff...I loved that computer.
