Admiral Irony Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 i dig your Crow and Tom Servo pops. Thanks! MST3K's one of my favorite shows, and Crow and Servo make perfect computing companions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 My wife just found this in the garage.. My first programming book given to me by my older brother when I was 11. I knew I still had this, just hadn't been able to find it for the last few years. This is the only thing I have from my original TI days. -M@ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+chue Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Nice M@, That thing is in great shape. Mine doesn't even have a front cover on it, so I have to show the back: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The author, Seth McEvoy, also wrote the junior fiction series "Not Quite Human" about an android boy at a middle school. It was later adapted into a couple Disney TV movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) What I like about this one? The author, Seth McEvoy, also wrote the junior fiction series "Not Quite Human" about an android boy at a middle school. It was later adapted into a couple Disney TV movies. i watched one of the flicks when i was a kid- I think Kirk Cameron was in it. *shuffles off to IMDB* Edit to add: it was Jay Underwood (Uncle Buck/The Boy Who Could Fly). I was probably thrown off because Alan Thicke was in the movie, too, lol. Edited August 20, 2018 by digdugnate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoodland Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) It's ALIVE! My TI-99/4A console is setup and working after thirty years! A big thank you to Dragonstomper for the helpful suggestions to get it working! It is such a pleasure to introduce my son to my first computer console and to play TOD with him. He was intrigued by the cassette. Edited September 10, 2018 by twoodland 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Wow, I had to take a closer look! For a 30+ year old computer, you've managed to keep it in pristine shape! The cassette recorder looks new too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twoodland Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Wow, I had to take a closer look! For a 30+ year old computer, you've managed to keep it in pristine shape! The cassette recorder looks new too! Thank you Omega! I did have it packed away with care! Unfortunately, something happened to the VDP TMS9918A over the years and I had to replace it to get it functional. A blessing in disguise because the thermal compound had gotten old and hardened. It now has new arctic silver compound and is ready and willing! I am just as excited to get it running again as when I first got it. In looking at other system pictures in this topic, I see that I am not the only one who has taken great care with their systems. Very cool to see all of the systems including options that I have only dreamed of having! Plus, seeing the work spaces and modifications are inspiring as well!

Omega-TI Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 All the new photos inspired me to update mine in << my entry >>. Yes, the photo is rather dark, but I decided to put a picture up of how I really have my lighting in the den, not just prettied up nice and bright for a photo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Vorticon Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 The card in slot #3 is my TipiPEB card with connection to a Raspberry Pi. Got it. Still waiting for all the bugs to be ironed out before ordering one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolhess Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Got it. Still waiting for all the bugs to be ironed out before ordering one. Yes, copy files from Tipi to real floppy disk doesn‘t work. But access to tifiles on the Raspberry Pi works fine and access to wlan/Internet with tipichat is cool. Working with a mouse in TI-Artist is also very cool. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure you remember talking to Klaus from Austria. Still have to deal with loss of one of my pets when I returned home. Will soon provide updated version of Web99 and will continue to work on TIcode99. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you are well. Web99 is very interesting to me, I urgently need an overview of my TI files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW this isn't really a bug, just that current disk managers do not support TIPI. There is a new disk manager being developed to resolve this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Torrax Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Love the mix of Retro and modern in the photo [Atari 2600 / XBoxOne / TI-99/4A]. Is that a XBoxOne-X?? Also saw your post of Forza Horizon 4 car with the custom TI plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 took these today to post to the reddit thread about it.. this is the TI/XT bridge box, essentially a KVM allowing you to use your TI994A as a XT keyboard.. and switch video output for the monitor from your ti's composite out to the XT's CGA composite out.. https://photos.app.goo.gl/JNiFExGDkQuWqsx98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was going to be a TIPI! Imagine my chagrin as I read on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
