TI994A

The TI994A was released in June 1981 as an early home computer.  It was important because it was an improved version of TI-99/4 model released at a lower price that made it affordable for the average American at $525.  It came equipped with a keyboard, speech synthesizer, RF modulator, and a cartridge.  It was the first domestic computer with a 16-bit processor and allowed people to perform a wide array of functions from word processing, to playing games, to storing a good amount of data on the CPU's RAM.
