Tandy Color Computer 3 User Manual

USING
THE
CASSETTE
RECORDER
Your Computer
has
a type
of amnesia every time
you
turn it off.
When
you
turn it on again, it
remembers only its Color
BASIC
language. The rest
of
its
memory is
gone.
This lets
you
reprogram
your
computer
for different
tasks. It
is
infinitely more versatile than the "computer"
in
a
digital watch
or a
microwave oven,
which
has
a
permanent
memory
with
a
single
function that
you
can never alter.
When
you
connect a cassette
recorder to the Color
Computer
3,
you
dramatically
increase
its
power and versatility.
Because thousands of
cassette-based
programs are
written for the
Color Computer,
you
can
use
the
cassette recorder to
expand
your
library
of
useful
programs.
You can also use the recorder as
an information
storage bank for
many
Program
Paks or
other cassette
programs. "Color SCRIPSIT"
(26-3105),
for example, lets
you save letters,
reports
—
even the
Great
American Novel
—
on cassette
tape.
Another
Program Pak,
"Color
File"
(26-3103),
lets you store and manipulate
addresses,
personal records, and many other types
of useful
data.
All
this,
and
much more, is possible
—
even
if
you
know
absolutely
nothing
about
computer
programming.
