Connor Rochester is the personification of the TRS-80 Color Computer line of personal computers, first released in July 31, 1980. These computers were developed and sold by Tandy Corporation, designed for home use and were aimed at consumers who needed a computer for basic tasks like word processing, spreadsheets, and gaming. Despite sharing a name with the earlier TRS-80, the Color Computer is a completely different, having a radical departure in design and compatibility with its Motorola 6809E processor rather than the Zilog Z80 earlier models were built around.

History

Connor was designed by SpacePuffer and debuted in the this site on April 27, 2023.

Character

Connor has a congenial and welcoming personality, and is friendly towards most people. A down-to-earth hard worker born in a close-knit community, able to do domestic skills, in addition to helping with his family's leather goods business. Later, he became a radio host in his hometown, where his friendly charm brought him to fame, and also learned performing arts.

On the other hand, Connor’s affable disposition can also be a detriment, combined with his rural upbringing and tacky sense of humor. During his time in the urban area sfter making it big as a local radio host, he is often mistaken for being a flirt, and his fashion sense made it even worse, people seeing him as a weird, country guy. He tried to ignore those comments, since he fully embraces his heritage, but sometimes it stressed him out, because he wants to be a great host and friend to everyone.

Connor is also known for his love of plants and gardening, a hobby he has had since childhood, earning him the nickname "Green Thumb."

Family and relationships

Terrence

Terrence and Connor are very much close-knit brothers, both shared similar hardworking and responsible attitude. However Terrence was so proud of his country heritage, and initially unsure of his younger brother's decision to make it big to the cities. He often calls Connor "Coco" or "Connie", much to the guy's slight embarassment.

Trivia

  • Connor's "Green Thumb" nickname and gardening hobby came from the initial development/prototype of TRS-80 Color Computer as a low cost Videotex terminal for farmers, ranches, and agricultural industry. However the prototype was not commercially viable.
  • Connor's tacky sense of fashion and humor is inspired from how the original TRS-80 was nicknamed the "Trash 80", which also affected its successors. His older brother's fashion sense is even more kitschy...
