I worked for Radio Shack from 1982 to 1986 and we used a TRS-80 II to do ur every day store sales report. I did sell several of the Color Computers to parents wanting their children to start learning about that medium. The funy thing is that I did not buy a pc until the early 2,000s. Sure brings back memories!
Pencil cases were all the rage in the seventies along with a new type of eraser that looked transparent and had various scents.
I still have my green Trapper Keeper I got for 7th grade in 1982.
In 4th grade, the whole classroom had a shared electric pencil sharpener. I always always purposely snapping the leads on pencils so I could use it until the teacher caught on.
Haha I used to be the class' dedicated pencil sharpener!
Smelly stickers, trapper keepers, and those metal lunchboxes were total winners!
Thank you for making the video.
Glad i could bring some joy and nostalgia!
I remember metal lunchboxes in the 1960's!
@@Fireball409 Did you have one? If so, what did it have on it?
The smelly papers that the teacher gave us that were copied on the ditto machine. The kids would be sitting at their desks and sniffing the paper. 😊
Scratch and sniff books that were laced with cocaine?
The stickers. For me it was the orange and other fruits that I wanted. We'd each get a roll and then do trading in the classroom and at recess for the ones we wanted. It was a shame they didn't last long but my folder was covered with them.
Later generations really missed out on these don't you think?
My mom still has a trapper keeper full of drawings I would draw in it whenever I was sent to my room…which was often 😂
I owned a different Trapper Keeper every year in my mid-school years (junior high and early highschool). I got bored with it in later highschool, years but I absolutely remember using it!
That clip with the skunk scratching the scratch and sniff stickers hahaha!
Kudos to the creative team of that commercial am i right?
@@MemoryManor Yes, they deserve a raise lol
The scratch & sniff thing reminded me of a movie from the mid '80s where they handed out those cards to go with the film... A prompt would flash on the screen with a number corresponding with a scratch-able patch on the card... it was a raunchy comedy/western called, "Lust in the Dust"... so, sometimes you saw the image and you just didn't *want* to smell it! lol
best times of my life when stuff was so fun
My mum and dad wouldn't buy me a trapper keeper. I was deprived so terribly.
Oh wow i would think every parent would want their child to have one
I still have these scratch and sniff stickers from 1985 . they smell exactly like they did in 1985 in 2022. I was amazed .
TRS-80s were more early 80s than 70's. Electric pencil sharpeners were unheard of for students.
5:53 Trapper Keeper was the bling-bling of my school years starting in 7th grade 1985 & they never failed to keep my papers secured. My fave design I recall was a picture of a tiger & was proud to death of such in 8th grade Intermediate School (Before Middle School came along).
trapper keepers were definitely a must-have back in the day especially for someone like me who always loses his stuff
The computer at 49 seconds is a CoCo 1. I got started with the CoCo 2, then moved on to the CoCo 3. The CoCo 3 with OS9 Level 2 was an absolutely awesome machine!
I still have my running Superman lunchbox from my time in school in the 1980's. As a kid, I absolutely treasured it.
Awesome video! Thank you for the wonderful trip down memory lane.
Thanks Mike!
I actually had a Trapper Keeper while I was in high school. The others always asked me what I had in it as I had a habit of keeping it close to me between classes. 😄
The Trash 80 (TRS-80) was my first, but not the all in one shown, I that the separate keyboard, Monitor and later the Tape recorder, and even later the Floppy Disc Drives @ %400USD, as a c hild I would save all year to buy One, eventually having 4. [A trick in Radio Shack Advertising] Later I bought the LT1500, and Eventually the T-80 Model III. My first games were the Scott Adams Adventures. I remember 'scratch & niff' as being perfume samples in magazines. "Lunch Boxes", I thad a few. The problem was the Thermous Bottle would shatter (inside) Leaving my soup with glass fragments. So, in each case I was left with a simple metal box for sandwiches.
A better choice for the computer would probably been the apple II since that one was in schools way more and also seems to have been just overall more popular in the 70s while the trs-80 seems to not have become more popular until the early 80s.
Totally clueless. Go find a Boomer (we invented computers) what the actual situation was in the 70s.
No one wanted a TRS-80
@@terrencecoccoli524we called ‘em “Trash 80’s”…
These items are not from the 1970's. They are of the 1980-'s
as a kid in the 80's i did have a trs-80 computer coco 2. i did have a lot of fun time's on it.. i remember my school had the apple ii & an apple iic computers
how does it compare to the computers today?
The stickers were a big deal. I remember sometimes teachers would reward a good paper with a sticker. I loved the lunch boxes. I know I had them but can't remember which ones!
The trapper keeper I usually had! Was a plane one! And I would slice the outside plastic! And stick my own pictures in there!
Thank You!
TRS 80 was my first computer.
I worked two full-time jobs summer of 1978 so I could buy a TRS-80. May the cassette tape interface rest in hell. But overall it was a good computer. Loved the Scott Adams adventures.
Now that's how you do it! And that was a definitely a classic
My dad saved up a lot of money to buy a firebird Corvette
I've never heard of no scratch-n-sniff stickers, only the scratch-n-sniff centerfold in Hustler, but I'm guessing that's something entirely different? He He! Everyone seemed to have a Trapper Keeper. I don't remember what lunchbox I had. I usually bought the hot lunch.
7:52 Before Trapper Keepers starting in 7th grade, Lunch Boxes were the bling-bling of Elementary School & metal boxes were the best & durable of the time. My 3rd & favorite was "Masters of The Universe" with flip n Sip Thermos I chose myself. The greatest perk of Lunchboxes: No waiting in line for school lunch...just go in, sit down & chow down as you quietly advertised your fave design of the time, like Superman, Dukes of Hazzard, Star Wars, Heathcliff to name a few my classmates had.
😔They just don't make'em like that...anymore.
metal lunch boxes were really a status symbol at school back in the day
I took sooo many things for granted back then not knowing it wouldn't last forever. Things were more simple and easier. Technology has turned everything upside down. Can't do anything anymore without a young person being beside me to show me the new day and age. Remember tin lunch boxes. Plastic is deemed more safe. Same with Coke bottles and that's understandable cause glass breaks. Don't want to cut yourself.
The Apple 2/2+ was more desirable because 280x192 graphics in multiple colors. Us apple owners CALLED TRS-80s Trash 80s. In 2023 any working machine of that vintage is appreciated, especially with original parts
Why does it say 1970s when it is about the 1980s? I was a kid in the 70s, and y young adult in high school in the first half of the 80s. Still interesting, just not what I expected.
Labelled “1970 school supplies”, talks about the 1980’s, shows 1970’s inventions…?
Not to mention name dropping in the title of well established channels!🙄 The videos are good, but find your own identity!
Hi Scott. I don't sell anything on this channel nor link any online stores. I just talk about things that pop into my head when I'm reminiscing about my past
Great clip thus far, only this stuff featured is of the 80's, not 70's. The timing is off.
Read the title again!!
I miss Trapper Keepers. 😢
The trapper keeper weighted more than the papers in it.
I still miss my Six Million Dollar man lunchbox.
Trash-80 computers! Where I learned to code! Still do, but not on a Trash-80!
When I was in elementary school, those scratch and sniff stickers were everywhere. Not all of those stickers smelled nice. I remember there was this one sticker that had a red lawnmower on it. On the front of the mower were these pair of eyes looking at you saying good work. That one was the stinker. It was supposed to smell of cut grass. But it smelt like something else entirely. P U
If you say 1980s why does the title indicate 1970s?
The TRS-80, at least the first 3 models, were gray.
My first computer was the TRS-80 Color Computer II which we had to connect to a TV since it didn't have a monitor
how did you schedule your TRS time with your family's watching tv schedule?
@@MemoryManor It didn't need to be the same TV... ;-]
He didn't mean the primary TV, he meant, 'a' TV -- as opposed to a specialized monitor. Besides, by then, the main TV was likely a console-type that was way too big (and close to the floor!) to serve as monitor. A 12 to 14 inch countertop/portable TV was often repurposed as a permanent monitor.
I had a Coco 1 as my first computer.
They still make scratch n sniff stickers. They debuted in 1965 and got popular in the 1970s. But they're old news. I've taken two products, which found popularity in the 70s, and I've combined them, to make one ultra product! I call my creation, "SCRATCH 'N' SNIFF COCAINE"!!! The public will never grow tired of these new stickers.....They won't have a choice. Mwa ha ha ha ha! 😈 ROFL 😂
For real, though, I wish I could've seen the 70s. That's when my parents were kids, and it seems like it was a magical time. Plus, it was the golden age of all rock music types, in my opinion.
I understand that pencil sharpeners are now available that are cordless.
Trapper keepers are back, I've seen them at Walmart.
And they are priceless ❤
Yes they are, I had one!
useful as they were when they first came out am i right?
Yes.
Ocean State Job Lot.
TRS-80 was launched in 1977.
Puffy google eye stickers and sticker books.
I had the Holly Hobbie metal lunchbox
1980's or 1970's?
4:19 I have that 3rd sharpener!
the Trash-80 wasn't white until the Model IV with its blazing fast 2 khz processor. the earlier models were silver, as seen in the clips.
Funny how the header says "RETRO School Supplies 1970s kids were OBSESSED with" but you're talking about 80's stuff.
Why are you listing the other two CZcamsrs on your titles ?
I had a pac man metal lunch box in school
i can imagine how cool it looked!
It was a great video but it’s about the 80’s not the 70’s
Who else called the TRS-80 a "TRASH-80"?
These products were from the 80s not the 70s
Obsesses "with". So many semi illiterates these days. LOL
You spelled “obsessed” wrong. Is that the kind of thing you’re referring to?
Need to change the title to 1980's kids.
