All the Wumpus gore recently reminded me: there is actually historical precedent for all of this:

Box art for the TI-99/4A game "Hunt the Wumpus", to which the Discord mascot of the same name is not related (though the latter is indeed being hunted down all the same lol)

"Computer Chronicles" debuted on KCSM in 1981 as a local program hosted by Jim Warren and broadcast live on Thursday nights. There's only one known full recording of this season, an October 1981 program on TI Logo for the TI-99/4A.

Ron, you may want to look at a previously lost "Computer Chronicles" episode from the show's 1981-82 season--it was then a local program hosted by Jim Warren--which featured a half-hour demo of TI-Logo running on the TI/99-4A!

This is #permacomputing as well, at least for me.

I organised a brief informal visit to the "Referenzgerätesammlung" at the Academy of the Arts in Bern. It's a large collection of media infrastructure, from oscilloscopes to TI/99-4A and pastel-coloured Macs […]

Rare photo of myself, in between high racks stacked to the brink with old media and computing hardware. I seem very happy about the manifested media history, and its messiness. The wonderful Martina Haidvogl (Co-Head Conservation of Modern Materials & Media, Bern), Max Frischknecht (Lead Critical Knowledge Design, Bern), and Rilla Khaled (Director of the Technoculture, Art and Games Research Centre, Montréal) standing in front of a wall of a variety of television and computer screens. The screen are probably as old as the 1960s up until the 1990s.

TI-99 4a.
With a cassette drive to save programs.

I was a young adult by then.

It had so much potential but y'know marketing and corporate decisions...

Ever wonder how hit CBS Show 'Whiz Kids' turns the stars into star hackers? Issue 1 of K-Power Magazine has the secret!
A program listing titled "How 'Whiz Kids' Fakes It: Check out this program CBS uses to make Richie Adler look like a whiz kid typist!" Translations are available for the Commodore 64, TRS-80 Model 4, Timex Sinclair 1000 and 1500, Apple, Atari, IBM, TI-99/4A, TRS-80 Color, TRS-80 Model III, and VIC-20 computers. A tiny picture of Richie Adler, a nerd in fannel wearing glasses and typing at a deconstructed keyboard, appears in the bottom right.
