Tandy!

A Story by Abishai100

An intensive account of how Tandy computers altered the way Americans achieved tech-diviners.

A special computer-fanfare homage to the pioneering American electronics company Tandy, which changed the way we Americans really conceived of pre-quarantine era tech-toy ditches. Enjoy!

Silicon Valley was the site of great tech-advances in the Western world, driven by great strides in computers and chips and networking and cyber-communications and investments. However, this all began humbly and rather interestingly, and this story is about what built our modern imagination about what makes Silicon Valley so darn dioramic.

Silicon Valley is in California (USA), and Silicon Valley in the Big 1980s was something where great achievements in computer marketing were seen. This is where Tandy, for example, was making its modern mark.

AMLAN SATAN: I've been a CalTech computer-junkie and nerdy tech-advancer in Tandy worlds for some time now.

Now, Amlan Satan (code-name: Sparrow) is not an everyday computer-nerd. In fact, he's an Interpol-relations analyst studying the future development of illicit gem mining in Africa which may someday be linked to dangerous forms of anti-capitalism terrorism.

However, this story is about Satan (Amlan!) following the developing rise of the Tandy company, invested in new innovative home-computers during the home computing revolution. Tandy introduced a number of cool computers and with chips such as the Tandy 1000 with the i386 processor which was a stepping-stone from the 16-to-32 bit jump. Tandy became a household name in American-tech. It would someday merge with RadioShack!

AMLAN SATAN: I find great tech-labyrinth civilization stimulation from images about divine learning and music.

The line of first Tandy home-computers were so intriguing that they gave a huge boost to American capitalism following its dreadful performances in the international car market, something which didn't sadly improve until the more handsome achievements of Ford and Chevrolet. Tandy's first computers made Americans feel excited about what Americans were accomplishing with consumer electronics and specifically this new 'toy' called the home computer.

CONSUMER FAMILY: Tandy revolutionized what we thought our kids had access to in terms of advanced tech play!

AMLAN SATAN: Tandy was one of those pioneers that built that 'American aura' of Silicon Valley dye.

AMLAN SATAN: Consumers had access to Tandy catalogs and manuals that gave everyday people real wisdom.

MAX ZORIN: Tandy was the first computer company that inspired us to think about 'aesthetic' tech-marketing.

Now, Amlan Satan's been tracking the super-terrorist Max Zorin who seeks to sell the i386 chip to the terrorist organization Cobra possibly linked to illicit terrorism-gem mining in Africa and New Zealand. Amlan wants to use Tandy as a platform for cyber-net defenses against modern dystopian diagonals.

MAX ZORIN: When my ghouls get their hands on this 'Amlan Satan' in California, they'll decapitate the b*****d patriot.

CALIFORNIA TIMES: It was Zorin who ordered the terrorist-strike on the main computer consumer center in California.

MAX ZORIN: I'm not after Tandy...I'm after Satan.

It was this 'Tandy imagination' of great civilization 'dance' and storytelling and fantastic harmless hyperbole that gave way to new age cinema exploring how tech-pioneers and electronic imagination would forever change the way we thought of glass, dollars, and communication!
