Did you hear the news recently that an Apple I computer
with 8K of memory (Apple's first product in 1976)
sold at Sotheby's Auction House for $400,000 ?!?!
This is a complete TI (Texas Instrument) 99/4A computer
system with 16k of memory that was to compete with Apple
computer systems and was released in 1981 !!!
This computer system, includes keyboard, all cables, GE Data
Recorder (needed to save and load programs you write in BASIC),
all manuals (which includes BASIC programming manuals which is
what I started my computer career with), 3 TI 99/4A plugin games.
(I don't have an Old Style TV to show you that it works.
If you have one, bring it with you)
You use an Old Style TV (with antenna connections)as a monitor.
I am a software developer with over 50 years of experience using
many computer languages with COBOL for Business as my major.
I bought this system new in 1983 and have used it about 5 hours
just for fun.
I set it up after 39 years and it works fine.
My intention is to keep this very historic computer system
- BUT - at 82 years old, if you have a budding computer programmer
in your family, this is a good place to start - OR - Just have
FUN with the included games NOW !!!
Buy this SPECIAL computer at your price - Make me a reasonable offer.
This would make a GREAT Christmas gift for a computer technology
inclined person to get them started in a very profitable career !!!
