Oh yeah - I loved that crappy little computer with all my heart back in the day. I essentially memorized the "Beginner's BASIC" book that came with it which was an amazingly simple and effective book for learning TI's Basic as a kid. And writing games with Sprites was about the coolest thing ever. And I will never forget the sheer joy of saving and loading the programs I wrote onto/from a cassette tape. For 1982, it was truly an amazingly affordable computer that was an absolute blast. Best Christmas present ever - Thanks Dad!
