I think maybe you are referring to the TRS-80 Model 1. The model 1's came out in the late 70's and were 2 separate pieces. 1 Unit was a combination computer and keyboard, and the second piece was the monitor.
(That thing between the keyboard and monitor is called an Expansion Interface. It contained things like additional memory, and you could install extras such as an RS-232c card, a floppy disk controller, etc. I think it came with a printer port but I'm not sure.)
And no, not rich - my parents bought me a Model 1 when I was a kid for Christmas. I think the price was about $1100 at the time and I think they had to borrow to get it for me. What a gift.
