Resources for your ti-99/4a home Computer

Email

Currently, one of the most popular resources 99ers use on the Internet is the TI Mailing List. Managed by Tom Wills, this list has been in operation since the Fall of 1996.

I asked Tom how the list got started.
“How it started? Well that's easy. I was trying to keep track of the addresses of the TIers on the Internet, but it turned into a really overwhelming job. My idea with the address list was so TIers could contact each other. I dropped that idea in favor of the list server as it did all I wanted, and more, and was virtually maintenance free. For me it is worth the $5/month cost for the shear pleasure of being able to be part of having such a neat method of communication available to the TI community.”
“Granted members of this list can't get a list of the other members very easily, but it can be done. However, as I quickly discovered, it does not have the actual user name as part of the "who" listing. I am sending a copy of the "who" listing separately, as it is long. That way everyone can see it. FYI, there are TIers subscribed to this list from South Africa, Columbia, Chile, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Australia, and Canada. I think I got them all (sorry if I missed any).”

Subscribing to the mailing list is easy. All you need is a computer capable of receiving email from the Internet. While I use my Pentium PC at home and work, other members of the list chose to use their TI!
