Re: "Confession: I bought three TI99/4A's"

I wound up with an Atari 65XE. Being a snot nosed kid, I played games on it. My uncle had the TI 99/4a and I did practice what little BASIC I knew on it. I don't recall using any of the storage options so it never got too involved.

@darkghost: I worked all summer to save up for an Atari 400, bought from Hassids in Brooklyn. After 20 minutes or so something inside got hot and created a lot of screen noise. They would only exchange it if I paid a bit more for an 800, which was well worth it for the keyboard.
