Summary
Tandy 400 was Strong Bad's first computer. He answered emails reliably using it until gimmicks where it exploded. After using Tangerine Dreams to check his email during weird dream, he got it working again in sisters, although it was still misbehaving.
Strong Bad made do with its damage for a while until he returned from his vacation in invisibility, replacing Tandy 400 with the Compy 386. Tandy 400 made many remarks when it was thrown out, most memorably, "Three eighty six? Mo' like three eighty sucks!" See invisibility for the complete list.
Tandy 400 haunted Strongbadia for some time. The computer appeared floating in mid-air in ghosts, displaying a Bad Graphics Ghost on its screen.
Bubs later salvaged Tandy 400 and sold it to The King of Town, who attepts to check his email with it in an easter egg in The King of Town DVD.
Tandy Corporation is the name the parent company of RadioShack, which helped to start the personal computer revolution with its TRS-80 (affectionately known as the "Trash-80") in 1977. Tandy 400 probably gets its name from the Tandy 2000 and 1000, Tandy's first "IBM-PC compatible" PCs produced in 1983 and 1984 respectively. However, Tandy never produced a "400" model.
The rainbow star logo on Tandy 400 is a play on an early Apple Computer logo which featured a rainbow-colored apple with a bite missing.
Tandy 400's Debut was in some kinda robot.
