Retro Scan of the Week: "Student's Guide to Computer Language"

July 24th, 2006 by Benj Edwards

Here we have a handy BASIC-slanted guide to computer terminology (circa 1983) from an "educational" comic book titled Electronics, compliments of Tandy-Radio Shack (the "TRS" in "TRS-80″). Considering the source of this publication, I have a strange feeling that the definition for "Information Retrieval System" might be a little suspect…

   Brilliant! Ah, yes, a "floppy" disk… Those were the days my friend, back when BASIC programming was enough to create an impressive game..

   Thanks!

   I remember when my older brother could program ripoff games for fun. Those were days before years…
