Omega-TI Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 We all have our stories about the TI, but what about this forum? Do you remember how you can upon this site? Was it through a message, searching for something or a referral from another? This site might be THE most important place for TI'ers on the planet. Tell us (if you remember) how you came to be here.

Willsy Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Been here since it was first proposed and set up. It is basically a refuge for disaffected Yahoo mail list members. There was too much babble on the mailing lists and not enough "doing". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Ha. What did you search for? Yeah, no kidding! Google leans heavily on Atari Age and there has to be 1,000's of search roads that lead here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Yeah, no kidding! Google leans heavily on Atari Age and there has to be 1,000's of search roads that lead here. AtariAge has been around over a decade, and there are over three million posts and over ten thousand blog entries for Google to index. ..Al 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lee Stewart Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I had searched for TI stuff somewhere around 2000 and was disappointed. When I looked again (Google) in 2011, I was blown away with the TI presence. I think my first post was this topic: TI FORTH, which introduced me to this AtariAge group and my intention to finish my long-ago-started edition of the TI Forth manual. That started the journey that has taken me to where I am today with my file-based cartridge implementation of TI Forth, fbForth 2.0, which is updated and ramblingly discussed here: fbForth—TI Forth with File-based Block I/O—now, with a FONT EDITOR. I barely check the YaHoo! groups. I have spent countless hours on AtariAge in the past 3.5 years. I am having a blast! ...lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am1933 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 As well as loving the 4a, I sincerely love the atari 8bit line and it was during a search for 8 bit info that i came across the Atari Age site, finding the TI forum was just a pant wettingly good bonus that keeps on giving. It's about time we brought TI and Atari together-how about a combined Pokey, GTIA card for the PEB!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Do you remember how you can upon this site? Increasingly sucking Yahoo groups. Not by people but by usability. (Although, as for people, well, there were indeed reasons for two TI groups...) And people telling me that over there, in AtariAge, people wanted to know ... P.S.: Originally using comp.sys.ti ... anyone else? Edited November 25, 2014 by mizapf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyerd Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 The first retro computer I re-aquanted myself with was the Atari STe. I found these forums after Googling and saw the TI section which prompted me to get the 4a which was the first computer I ever bought back in '83. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Invitation. Same here, I cannot remember who it was now, but someone over at the Yahoo group invited me over here, and then when Yahoo decided to their message section I made this place home.

RickR Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I was already on this site because of my Atari collection. Then I happened across a TI-99/4A and bought it, and started collecting...and just luckily found this forum here on the same site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazoo Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Same here, I cannot remember who it was now, but someone over at the Yahoo group invited me over here, and then when Yahoo decided to their message section I made this place home. There are some very important TI'ers I call friends that can only be reached on the Yahoo group, so I choose to be in both places.

Wildstar Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I was google searching foe some TI-99/4A stuff. Forget what it was. Also with an Atari 800 now, I will begin venturing those sections as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+retroclouds Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) I got to Atariage because of the Colecovision initially. Did not own a Colecovision at the time, but when I learned that the machine had quite some similarities with the TI-99/4A (VDP, Sound, etc.), I knew the Colecovision forum had to be an interesting place. Shortly after that I contacted Al and requested to setup a TI-99/4A progamming section here on Atariage. Well, you know the rest :-) We did a TI-99/4A game programming contest for celebrating our new forum. Yeah, first price was a Mechatronic Extended Basic Cartridge (the one with the apesoft routines in there). Oh the times.... Here's the thread that started it all: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/153667-welcome-to-the-ti-994a-programming-group/?p=1881075 Edited November 26, 2014 by retroclouds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
