80-US March/April 1981
VisiCalc was now available for the TRS-80, and this issue offered a look at it as the feature article (promoted on the cover by one of the Android Nim androids). Acknowledging the spreadsheet's origins, the article closed with "Who knows, maybe APPLE and TRS-80 users will learn to talk to one another." Bill Barden, Jr. looked at the Color Computer, admitting its graphics weren't as good as more expensive computers ("I can see Apple and S-100 microcomputer owners sneering...") and its keyboard brought certain unimpressive examples to mind ("Right away I can hear snide comparisons to the first PET keyboard and the TI-99 keyboard"), but concluding the computer did offer enough to intrigue "experimenters" and "software freaks." Scott Adams was interviewed as he transitioned from "adventure writer" to "head of a software company."
