my nostalgia moment, I was taught COBOL on these machines back in 86. I remember them well as it led to my buying my first PC, a Tandy SX. Having used original IBM PCs at my parents home I was so impressed by "Tandy Color" and sound. One thing led to another and Turbo Pascal and Turbo C entered by programming life... and a Model 50 with old school gray scale screens that still looked amazing.

Which makes it all so sad having read that eulogy to Radio Shack here a few days ago.
