Tandy Color Computer 3 User Manual

Your Color
Computer
is
amazingly
versatile. It's a
master of chess,
a
wizard
at
fantasy games,
a
tireless
and efficient
bookkeeper/secretary, a
noted
musician,
and much
more.
But its talents are
only
potential
until it has two more things. First, it
needs a
memory. Then,
it
needs
you.
Programs, such as those
listed earlier
in
this booklet,
give
your
computer
the
memory
it needs to carry out specific tasks.
Those
programs
are so
simple that you
can
probably
write
some
like them
after
a few days
with your BASIC programming manual.
The
most
sophisticated
programs,
however, can take hundreds or
thousands
of
hours
to
develop
and
produce.
Tandy's preprogrammed
ROM
cartridges let
you
begin
using
your
Color Computer
immediately
... for
tasks as
complex
as
playing
a
chess game, as
detailed as
maintaining financial records
for
a
small
business,
and as
educational
as
learning
a
foreign language.
Program
Paks
plug into the cartridge slot on
the right side of your
computer.
Although
they
are
the simplest and most
effective
means
of programming
your
computer,
ROM
cartridges
are
sensitive
electronic devices that
you
must handle
carefully
to protect
them
(and
your computer)
from
damage.
