A TI-99/4A –
A HP-25, a programmable hand held calculator, was my first. The TI-99/4A came later with BASIC language. A technician at work showed me how to save my data and program on a cassette recorder. It was love at first byte.

A TI99 –
A keyboard that hooked up to your TV. I told my wife to get it when the price came down to $100. A technician at work showed me how to save a program with my tape recorder. I had to learn BASIC programming and would take my work home until someone told me how to use this new computer on my desk at work. “Just type BASIC”. It was love at first sight.
