Now, since there must be at least 2 million TI99s out there, it follows that there must be some netters who own one. Therefore, the following is for those other TI99ers. 99er Magazine - Has anyone heard anything from them since December? Rumor #1 - They went bankrupt. Rumor #2 - They are in the midst of changing formats ( to add IBM or some other machine to their Magazine). What has anyone else heard? I sent 25 bucks in for a subscription last December. A call last month brought the response that the next issue would be out in February. Adventure Games - I will, perhaps have "Return to Pirate Island" available soon. At least as soon as the 13 year old finds all the treasures. Would anyone be interested in buying ( at a reasonable cost) this cartridge. You don't need anything else for this one. And, it is a damned good adventure. Its not for beginners. Let me know if anyone would want to trade, buy, sell, exchange, or anything else, TI tapes, cartridges, etc. I am especially interested in educational software and have some that could be useful to others. Books - Does anyone have a line on some good TI software books? Finally, is anyone looking to get rid of their TI99? I might be interested if the price is right. Perphis too. T. C. Wheeler

The 99'er magazine plans on putting out their new format the middle of February. They will be called "Home Computer Magazine" and will cover the IBM PC, Commodore, and Apple in addition to the 99/4A. This COMPUTE! type format is very disappointing to me. As a former subscriber I can only say that the magazine always lacked a professional touch. A subscription to COMPUTE! may now be a better value. ---Larry
