A whole string...Tandy/Radio Shack were pretty big early players in the 
Personal Computer market.

The very first one I ever had access to was a TRS-80 
<http://oldcomputers.net/trs80i.html> that a room-mate got on loan to help a 
professor write a BASIC programming manual. 

We didn't even have a tape deck to store programs on, or a printer to print out 
the source for the ones we did do. It spent a couple months on our dining room 
table running a program that displayed a clock on the screen. This had to be 
around 1979-1980. I didn't get my own computer until '84, a used Apple 
][+...used that for four years until I got my first Mac in 1988.
