This 1983 Radio Shack catalog is a peek into computing's past

Radio Shack TRS-80 Computer Catalog cover

There's nothing quite like looking at a decades-old catalog to remind us how far we've come in the world of technology — and thanks to the Internet Archive, we can see the computers Radio Shack was selling way back in 1983. A 59-page catalog breaks down the entire TRS-80 product line, ranging from the TRS-80 Color Computer all the way up to the $4,999 Model 16. There's also a section on hard drives — just $3,495 for a whopping 12MB of storage — along with acoustic coupler modems, the original Zork, and some astounding vintage hairstyles. If you'd like a stroll down memory lane, it's definitely worth a look.
