The Intro to my #SEPTandy series, BIG-ly Tandy, where I'll cover productivity software for the "Big" Tandy systems. In this first video, I kick things off with an overview of each of the systems in the Tandy 8" line and take a look the 8" Tandy systems in my collection. This includes the TRS-80 Model 16, Model 12, and the Model 16B. I also discuss the Model II and the Tandy 6000.

This video is a tad long; the remainder of the series should be faster-paced. :)
