Yes... and I have it with the PEB and its own TI Monitor 😎

Does anyone have any advice on getting the TI-99/4a keyboard not to bind on the overlay strip?

I didn't have any binding issues with the Mitsumi keyboard that originally came with it but the beige Archer/Futuba and black Futuba have both had problems. I can fix it temporarily by pushing on the overlay strip but I am worried about breaking it

The Texas Instruments TI-99/4a was a popular home computer that seems largely forgotten today.

Another for #TI994April -- that time someone called in response to an ad I had placed in the paper to sell my well-expanded TI-99/4A system ... to convince me NOT to sell it, back in 1984.

For #TI994April, that time my first computer thought it was a sewing machine.

Ups 😅 !

Sorry fellow programmer from the deep past :S I only wanted to take a peek in the source code....

But I admit that I used it to win the game because it was rather hard for me 😅😅😋

Have I told you how much I love this emulator of my first computer #TI_99_4A ?

https://js99er.net/#/

I managed to write a demo program on it, and save it on my disk as a WAV file, following the emulation of a cassette recorder (play, rewind, stop). The above emulator website allows you to record the whole session in a video (~6mins long). The program adds all integers from 1 to 100 & prints each intermediate result (triangular number):

#retrocomputing #BASIC

Found an insane collection of books with programs of the #TI_99_4A pc from the 80s on #archive.org. Back then, with TI #BASIC and TI EXTENDED BASIC one could do a lot, but it was common for people to use #GOTO statements resulting spaggeti code even if the total LOC was 33... Subroutines (like #Fortran Subroutines) were supported but not sure about functions that would RETURN a value. Here's the prettiest cover I found in this collection:
