Words cannot even describe how much I loved my TRS-80 pocket computers. As far as having something in your pocket which you can program on, even today there's nothing quite like it.
Even touchscreen phones are not a replacement. The TRS-80 pocket computers had actual keyboards, which were small enough to make a portable form-factor, but large enough that you could thumb-touch type on them.
Alas, we've gone from being pocket programmers to doom-scrollers.
- rbanffy 2y agoMy favorite is the much larger CASIO PB-700. I went to college with a almost-programmable Texas TI-55 but got the CASIO in the middle of my first year. It was a mind-blowing experience. I felt so sorry for the other people having to program their HP's while I could just do a quick BASIC program to solve the problem.
