Technical details
The original TRS-80 was Tandy Corporation's desktop microcomputer model line, sold through Tandy's RadioShack stores in the late 1970s and 1980s. Hobbyists, home users, and small-businesses were the intended consumers, and the endearment of the TRS-80 computer by its users resulted in a successful venture for Tandy Corporation. It was improved in later years as the TRS-80 Color Computer, often referred to as CoCo by its users, which started out as a joint venture between Fort Worth based Tandy Corporation and (then) Austin based Motorola Semiconductor, Inc. to develop a low cost home computer in 1977.
Character details
Creation
CoCo-tan was created in late 2006 by C-Chan and Zerodin to personify the TRS-80 Color Computer, a derivative of the very popular Tandy TRS-80 with color capabilities.
General
CoCo-tan is commonly depicted as a young Hispanic woman with short black hair. She commonly wears trashy 80's-style clothes, such as tight rubber shorts, lampooning the trashy persona of the TRS-80. Her appearance and personality are known to cause quite a lot of disturbance, parodying the massive RF interference the TRS-80 caused in surrounding electronics.
