This is why Commodore really failed

The first computer I ever used was a C64 (at home.)

The second computer I used was a TRS-80 model III or IV) in second grade or so.  All the kids were so impressed with my

10 PRINT "I AM A COMPUTER   ";
20 GOTO 10

BASIC program.

Semicolon rocks.  Made a nice diagonal stripey pattern out of your text.

Just a little levity. As for Tandy, they switched their name to RadioShack a while back so technically they're still around - thanks to their early 80s foray into comics no doubt!

Actually, Radio Shack was there pre-TRS-80.  You'd buy your TRS (Tandy Radio Shack) machine at the local Radio Shack store.

edit: I guess they may have dropped "Tandy" altogether.  It was kind of synonymous with "fail" after a certain point in the computer world.
