Well, I was just scanning thru some of the new conferences CRS (Canada Remote Systems) up here in Toronto has added, and I discovered this neat area. Some of you here I know, some of you may know me by name already, but just in case, here is a little bio about me and my company. My name is Gary Bowser, and I have been a TI99/GENEVE user for many years, almost from the start of the TI in the late '70. And since about 1984 I have been running a company called OPA (Oasis Pensive Abacutors) which specializes in designed and selling new 9900/99000 based hardware and software for any computer system which uses 9900/99000 parts,etc. Most of our projects are not known about in the TI world, but the major ones which we have done are quickly listed below: A series of software called PHOENIX 2001, designed to be the most powerful and easily to use, and contiune to be useful pass the year 2001. The main three on the market are: TASS: The fastest and one of the best slide-show type programs DISKODEX: The best disk cataloger program out there, even reads in the Disk Utilities comments. RECALLIT: A very easy to use, but let powerful database program designed mainly for storing names and addresses. (Uses RAMBO!) That covers our current best-selling software, one new one in the works is for speech, and it when ready this Fall, will be breaking new ground in speech on the TI, plus it will be opening new areas never touched before on home computers. Our hardware for the TI has been slow coming, with alot of projects in the prototype stage, but we currently need more backing (money) to advance them to the next stage. But in anycase we do have two main projects that have started to sell like hot cakes. RAMBO: A upgrade for the famous Horizon ramdisks, allowing the ramdisk memory to be parition between ramdisk memory, and CPU (program) memory. The later designed to be allow the use of future bigger and better programs to be written for the TI. RECALLIT listed above was the first to use the new RAMBO memory system, and being so a demo version is given out with all RAMBO packages sold. There is many projects on the go from a bunch of different third-party companys. GIZMO: Very new on the market, designed to expand the module port to 8 slots in way TI themselfs planned. REVIEW MODULE LIBRARY! Yes, you can now plug up to 8 modules into your TI and do things like using TEII speech, Minimen ram, and Extended Basic all within the same Basic program with no special tricks,etc. This has been on the drawing board a long time over 2 years in fact, but now with the latest VLSI chips we have cut the original design of over 50 TTL chips from TI, down to a only FOUR chips! TIM: Very new only a week old. It is called TI-IMAGE-MAKER and is designed to install inside a TI99 console, where the old 9918 video chip is located. A very small board only 2.75" * 3.75" but let the most powerful new graphics board designed for the /4A. It use the latest in Yamaha video tech. using the 9958 extended model, which has many more features than the old 9938 model which is used in the Geneve and DIJIT AVPC cards. The two best features of this board, besides the smallest and ease of use/installation, is it's full micro 25pin expansion port, for everything from mouse to Genlock devices, and the best feature yet, is the cost which is over half the price of a DIJIT AVPC card! I think that is enough about my company and it's products.

Met you down at the DC International show last year and spent a pleasant hour or 2 discussing RAMBO (among other things). Good to see you made it up here finally! Tom Wible has been trying to get Email to you and I tried several times with massive bounces but I'll give it another whack after this to see if we can open a path.
