i used to have this and my mom sold it at a yard sale. pissed me off so much. i should have made her find me another one, because now i want it. i would say to get it. it has some games and stuff that makes it worth it for that. is it the ti-99 4a?

I have one of these sitting around I have need found much use for it though

MATHS!

I've also heard things about its speech synthesis engine. Probably similar to the one on LSDJ.

oh man, i might go back and get it just for this. i think it had the voice synth thing in the box with it too.

It's the same as found on the TI Speak & Spell range.

I've been listening to Kraftwerk's Computer World today - coincidentally there's the TI speech chip all over that.
