I've got a Ti-99/4a I use as a dust collector, paid $350.00 for it in May of '84
It sold in August  of '84 for about $50.00 when Ti stopped making it.

It never held the same interest after I got OOP working in it's ROM-Basic.

It was kind of neat tho' When you loaded programs off tape, you could hear it
throught the TV speaker. (Obviously by the time a program loaded however, you're
eyes had already been irradiated out of your head)

My daughters still use our TI-99/4A daily to play games and run some
elementary school math tutorials.

It was my first personal computer and was largely responsible for a big
change of career direction on my part.  Instead of being a linguist who
dabbles in computers, I became a computer specialist for the humanities,
and then a computational linguist.
