[edited from BUSINESS WIRE announcement]

Tandy Corp. Wednesday introduced the Tandy 1000 RL -- "the first personal
computer with unique home management programs so practical and simple that it
can become an essential part of family life."

Sold at Tandy's more than 7,000 Radio Shack(R) stores nationwide, the price of
the ready-to-use systems range from $750 to $1,299.

In addition to the computer's built-in tutorial programs, Radio Shack personnel
have been specially trained to work individually with customers who have a
question.  A dedicated team of computer experts is set up at Tandy's Fort
Worth, Texas, headquarters for store representatives to contact for quick,
on-the-spot solutions. Customers with a telephone modem can communicate with
the technicians themselves.

The "RL" comes with 24 built-in programs developed especially to make everyday
home tasks easier.  Also, it is fully PC-compatible and will run other business
and personal software programs.  Its unique comprehensive approach to the home
and its ease of use has earned it the "Good Housekeeping Seal."
