“TI-99/4A

Now THAT was a real computer.”

In 1985 a friend and I wrote a fully functioning football statistics system in BASIC for the TI-99. We used it to provide real-time statistics for the radio broadcast of the local high school football games. Adapted it the next year to do basketball as well.

Those were the grand old days of personal computing. I would kill to have a copy of that code today.
