In 1977 the very first homecomputers came on the market, early in 1977 the Commodore PET 2001, a few months later the Apple 2, and at the end of the year the Tandy Radio Shack the TRS-80 Model 1, the cheapest of the three, and according to many the most useful of the "trinity" as the popular computer magazine Byte called the three in 1995.

The trinity in the Dutch National video game museum

The NaVGM (National Video Game Museum) in Zoetermeer the Netherlands has a separate room for home computers, and in there you can see (at the moment in August 2024) two of the trinity of computers, namely a PET (Personal Electronic Transactor) model CBM 8032 (this is a later european "business model" with a 80 column screen and 32K RAM, I hope to replace it with a 40 column model that is much better supported with video games, I am the owner of these two PET's) we also have an Apple ][ in a showcase. but we did not have a TRS-80 computer,until now that is. Unfortunately the TRS-80 model 1 we got has earned the name "trash-80". It looked like it has been in a trashcan for at least 30 yes.
