  1. Ah, the TI-99/4A, the computer equivalent of a brick with a keypad. 🧱💻 An intrepid soul spends a year trying not to bash it with a hammer, only to conclude that #BASIC is as useful as a parachute made of lead. 🪂🔗 Next up: pondering how many times one can rewrite "Hello World" before losing the will to live. 🤯🔄

  5. Does anyone have any advice on getting the TI-99/4a keyboard not to bind on the overlay strip?

    I didn't have any binding issues with the Mitsumi keyboard that originally came with it but the beige Archer/Futuba and black Futuba have both had problems. I can fix it temporarily by pushing on the overlay strip but I am worried about breaking it
