So my last post, my dad found his 3rd computer… he finally found his first computer!

Bonus: Back of the receipt has some additional purchases: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/8ed5e2cb-3a29-4a8d-9f0f-347cc41771f2.jpeg

    I wonder if there are any similarities between the Cardiff Company and the fictional Cardiff Electric from Halt and Catch Fire.

      That is quite blatantly a take on Tandy, a leather company getting into the co.puter business.

        Why Tandy and not Compaq?

          Did Compaq also start as an acquisition from a completely unrelated industry?Tandy was a leather goods company that purchased a hobby electronics chain, and started selling PC’s.
