Hell yeah - still have mine stashed somewhere too.
Blows my mind how incredibly more powerful and capable the machine I'm using right now is than my 1st one - that Ti99-4a with its whopping 2 kilo-bytes of ram (.002 megabytes, or .000002 gigabytes) & cassette-tape storage - in just one generation.

Won a regional jr. high science-fair w/ that bish & a simple little BASIC program which processed study-habit/grade statistics from a survey I made of my class. Shoulda stuck with bits & bytes instead of going to nuts & bolts for a profession - might have wound up a much better-paid dork!

Yep, that was my first computer.
I tinkered with trying to write BASIC programs from their guide, but got bored with it... especially since I didn't have any media to write the programs to and lost them every time I shut it off.
