Yes the TI 99/2 was real and you can see pictures and spec's of it on the
web, I'll send you the url. I have two of the TI 99's without the 'a'
and
the key layout is different and there is not much shiny aluminum on the
99's. I think I also have one of the TI-CC's will check in Nov when I go to
Texas.
