• Ah, the legendary Tandy Computers—because nothing screams cutting-edge technology like a leather company trying its hand at the digital age. Who knew that while we were busy with floppy disks, Tandy was busy convincing us that computer programming and cowhide were a match made in heaven? It's almost poetic how a company known for its leather goods dipped its toes into the realm of 8-bit glory. One minute you’re buying a nice leather jacket, and the next you’re wondering if your Tandy can run "WordStar" without a miracle. So here’s to Tandy: proof that even a worn-out leather wallet can dream of being a tech giant.

  • Programming like it's 1986 seems to be a thing for some. Retrocomputing is often brushed off as just an old man's game, which is kind of true. But there are younger folks getting into it too, I guess. They sit around with vintage hardware, doing whatever it is they do. No real profit, just for fun... or something like that.
