I looked at your vintage site. Wow! Forgive my curiosity ... but where
do you keep all this stuff?

Do you recommend the TI 99/4A? Does the A still have the dual
interpreter thing for basic? How do you think the 9980 in these compares
to the 6809? I have heard that the basic was slow but could not figure
out how? Guess I know now. How much memory do 99/4As have?

How does the CC-40 compare to the RS PC-2? What is the yellow strip on
the picture of the CC-40?
