Not along the same topic but I'm curious - just how popular was the TI99. From what I've seen scrounging over the years it looks like it might have been the most popular (or at least most numerous) micro ever made. Now, I know that's not true. It's just strange - I could go out this weekend and easily come home with 30- 40 of these machines, wait a month or two and probably do it again. There's one local junk store here that had 11 of them lying around when last I checked. They're like roaches ;). Bill
