This is sort of like my first computer, back in the 1980's, only mine was the TI 99/3a
Ah yes... the good old TI-99. It had 4k RAM, with an optional 16k adapter. The problem was that the adapter had a bad habit of falling off, causing the computer to crash before I could ever finish writing a program.

I loved writing programs on it. It had that wonderful trace function that would run, then stop on the line of code where you made a mistake, making it easy to correct.

It was a really nice computer for the day, built of quality materials, and much nicer than the Commodore 64 I got next. I used to wish they had upgraded it.

For saving my programs, I used a GE cassette recorder.

edit: now that I think about it, mine might have been the 4a and not the 3a. It was so long ago.
