Omega-TI Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 How about a 2018 or 2019 Catalog? Back in the day we used to have catalogs to drool over with all the new and exciting gadgets we could buy for our TI computers. I was thinking it would fun to make "a new printable catalog" in PDF format. We could have SAMS cards, FinalGROMS, UberGROMS, individual cartridges, and all sorts of stuff like the new programs people are writing, heck even a "coming soon" page or two with items like the TIPI. There are some really talented people like Ciro who might even want to design the cover of "2018 TI-99/4A Catalog". The sky's open on where this could go. Anyone have any ideas of what they would like to see, contribute or anything else? Even a section on 'closeouts' could have some neat photos of stuff showing things no longer readily available, but were developed in the past few years. Of course some of the items could have direct links to actually purchase available items like the F18A and stuff Greg sells at Arcadeshopper.com 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Computer advertising has been known to have a lot of eye candy, usually women, to catch the attention of men who were the largest purchasers of computer equipment back in the day, What do you think... is this suitable to put into a "coming soon" advertisement for TIPI? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 I also remembered some contest entries from a couple of years ago. What do you guys think... to racy to include one of these? I don't want to over do any one style, but I figure I'd make a couple of pages for the catalog too, and slip in at least one pre-existing image.

+adamantyr Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I'd prefer it resemble a classic TI catalog like Triton... we don't need sexy women to sell our stuff! Also those of us with wives and GFs would probably not want her seeing it and coming to the incorrect conclusions... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Thanks for the input.. No hot women it is. Triton eh? That's probably doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Just the TIPI" - sorry that was the first thing to come to mind. I'll go rinse my skull out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 I think robots in ads will look much better It would be cool to have a little robot running around the house via WiFi with the TI/TIPI/Rpi acting as the brain.
