TI 99-4A.
That was a real computer.
Had task switching, memory swapping and all sorts of advanced stuff under the covers.
Too bad they got into a price war with Commodore and lost.
They also tried to take a page out of Apples book and made the hardware and software proprietary..

Ahhhh yesssss. The 1403 N1 printer.
Leave your coffee on the top and then the printer runs out of paper....
top rises open automatically. (:
Also, what fun when the carriage tape was worn ant the printer just
kept spewing paper. :)
