I have a TI994/a as my first computer. 1 mHz processor, storage was
mainly on cassette tapes, and the joystick up button didn't work if the
Alpha Lock key was down. There were no lowercase letters either. Lower
case was small caps. It came with a Speech Synthesizer so games could
talk to you.


Hey, we still have ours. Bought it for my son and he did a science
project with it in 8th grade. I wonder if it has any value today.


When I moved about 11 years ago I sold the last one I had for $200 in a
garage sale. I thought that was high, but two folks wanted it at the
same time, and one outbid the other.
