sounds excellent, old school...i remember our texas instruments ti-99/4a from the early 80's, it
had an add-on speech synthesiser!

thanks!

how funny. i had a texas instruments ti-99/4a too.
which was released in late 1979 at a price of $1150
and near the end when it went out of business they
could be purchased for around $100
it was my first computer.
256 bytes "scratchpad" ram
16 kb vdp (graphics ram)
3.0 mhz cpu
with the optional ti-99/4 'peb' peripheral expansion box with
a 5 1/4 floppy drive installed...the only method of saving,
other than using a standard audio cassette player to record.
hard drives were still way too expensive for home users.
