Cool Texas Instruments
Didn't anyone else get the TI-99A? Got mine for $50 with the rebate, total cost after all the programs, expansion box, memory upgrade, floppy drives, etc. almost $2k. Those cheap computers really get expensive! Still have it but afraid to plug it in. would probably blow my flat screen. MelZ, did you run the RCA's or did you work on them? I was a tech in Chicago for them before Sperry bought us.
