[net.micro] Tandy TRS-80 Model 2000 Name

phipps@fortune.UUCP (12/07/83)

If Tandy/Radio Shack is so keen on getting into the business market,
so much so that they drop their "Radio Shack" label,
why did they retain the "TRS-80" in the name ?
I think that "TRS-80" brings to mind the same hobbyist image
that "Radio Shack" does, not to mention the effect of some pronunciations
of those letters and digits (be it fond irreverence or not).

I would have expected them to name the machine "Tandy System/2000"
or some such.
