This was cutting edge tech... I remember the excitement of replacing floppy discs with CDRs...

Going from a radio shack trs-80 model 3 to those desktops was great.
collapsed inline media
Except mine didn't have floppy drives. I only had a cassette player for storage.
That is what we had in computer science when I was in high school. The guy teaching it was really sharp. He also taught physics. He used to get mad at me for porting video games from those magazines that came with programs printed out in them. It would always be programs for c64 or some other home computer. By the end of my first year there were copies of my ported games floating around everywhere. I was the only person up til that time that every had more than a hundred percent in one of his classes. So much so he took the bonus questions off his test. It was really nice to be the best at something for once.
My hot take: kids should have to learn computers on a TRS-80 now.
But, copying games onto it from magazines was the way back then. It's how we learned.
