Tandy Radio Shack
I think you are asking about the TRS-80. (The initials TRS stood for the corporate owner-- Tandy Radio Shack.) The TRS-80 was an early microcomputer, and it made its debut in the US in late 1977, at a cost of about $600. It quickly became popular with hobbyists, home users, and small businesses. Later, as it became perceived as somewhat dated and clunky, it was jokingly called the "Trash-80," but in its day, it was something new and exciting in personal computing.
1977
Tandy Radio Shack, which was why it was called the TRS-80.

Back in the late 1970s or early 1980s when several companies, including IBM and Apple, were introducing the first "personal computers", Radio Shack came out with one, too, called the TRS-80. I never actually used one, but a lot of people were calling it the Trash-80. Anyway, the TRS stood for Tandy Radio Shack, and the 80 was for the type of processor (I'm tempted to say Intel 8080, but I think the TRS-80 used a Zilog Z80).
No. The commodore line of computers were a different company; Commodore.Radio shack's computers during that time were the TRS-80 line.
