  1. I got mine in 1981'ish and got a Speech Synth, Data recorder, Munchman, Alpiner and a TEII  with it.  Later on I would find out that a friend of mine also had a TI, with Extended Basic and Joysticks.  I was very envious!.  Till I found out that someone who I met through a computer club had a system with Expansion Box. 

     

    I finally got Mini Memory  and Personal Record Keeping in about 82 ish.   I never got Extended Basic.

     

    Back in those days, I wanted something different from my friends (They had ZX Spectrums, Vic20's and C64's).  My sole reason was to learn BASIC.  In South Africa we struggled to get material for the TI, and I remember I had to order C. Regena's Programmers Guide to the TI book from the US.

     

    Luckily, our local newsagent sold Compute Magazines, and I devoured them. 

     

    We only could get beige systems, and I always wondered why the friend's PEB was grey, and my Speech Synth also grey.

     

    I sold my TI later on, and am now looking to get one again (Wink wink.... Who has one to sell?)  Now, I am just relying on Emulation to keep me happy.

  2. Anyone know where I can get the cc_mgbank1.bin and cc_mgbank2.bin Corcomp disk DSR roms for v9t9? (Or for that matter, a full rom set.  I need the Corcomp, and Pcode)

    Seeing that my memory is failing, I would like your help on this one.

     

    When I had my TI, I used it a bit to create an inventory of my dad's LP records and tapes. I can not remember if this was on a module, or a program on tape. For some or other reason I think you could do it on TE II. I do not know why.

     

    If I can recall you had a limited number of records, and you had to save it to tape before you could enter in more records.

     

    It was almost like a database. If I recall correctly, it was not a main program but rather some submenu somewhere.

     

    Except for some game carts, I had TE II and Minimem. And I did not buy programs on tape.

     

     

    Can anyone shed some light on this?

     

    Cheers

    Seeing that we are in a festive spirit, it really warms my heart that there are a younger generation coming into our hobby through their parents (Here's looking at ilikerurtles).

     

    What other younger generation people are taking the TI up as a hobby? (I am looking for people not necessarily related to others on here).

     

    And while we're at it, any ladies in our hobby?

     

    Cheers and a belated Xmas
