#tandy #retrotechnology #computer I've been looking for a Tandy.. er.. Panasonic Business Partner like the one that was our first VGA-enabled computer back in 1990. But they're kind of scarce. So I got the machine behind the badge - a Tandy. Specifically a 2500XL. And this seems pretty close to what I remember... I think.
