The Radio Shack Color Computer Club was a computer club based in the Birmingham area. The group met on the second and fourth Fridays of each month in the Educational Technology Services computer lab at UAB from 1982 to 1985.

Group members met to share tips and techniques on how to best utilize and program their computers. They also helped fellow members with programming issues and "hardware hacks", such as installing custom keyboards and doubling the system's RAM by soldering additional RAM chips on top of existing chips.

Other than the standard Radio Shack manuals, computer clubs and specialized magazines were the primary source of information for members looking to expand their knowledge and expertise.
