I had this comic book, it was a special edition sold at Radio Shack when I was a kid. And yeah that pocket computer was just a big calculator that had a lot of keys.

I had that computer, and it was much more than a calculator, unless you mean a modern programmable one. This one could be programmed in BASIC. It also had a receipt-sized printer you could get.

There was a book series called Micro Adventures that featured a kid named Orion who used a TRS-80. There were BASIC programs in the books that you could run if you had a TRS-80.

These were my first exposure to programming! I did those on a DOS system.

Me too! Wow that takes me back. Wonder if it's still floating around mom's house.

Just looked at eBay, seems there were a few.

Do you remember the Radio Shack comic? I think it was called "The Whiz Kids" or something like that. I had a few issues of that and felt like the coolest little nerd ever.
