How low can TI fall?
The poor TI-Pro has been discontinued.
The little TI-99a has been discontinued.
There is a great big Business-Pro, but nobody trusts TI to buy it.
A reputation for customer service that rivals that of used car dealers. Microsoft does not want to develop another OS for the TI.
And now, so I read, this net (comp.sys.ti) has been rated as
having the lowest readership of all nets on this network.
(See California Usenet Summary Report for June 87).
Out of 247 nets, it ranked 247th.
It has only 45 readers, which is 0.4% (!) of the audience.
It averages 8 messages per month. (Doesn't that seem high?)
Only 7% of the 45 readers bother to participate.
While this doesn't exactly bring tears to my eyes, it does make an unfortunate point: nobody out there owns a TI-Pro besides me.
I don't know why I even bother to post this. The statistics show
that there are only one or two others of your out there (7% of 45).
I bet you guys are on vacation.
Should somebody accidently read this and is dumb enough to reply,
please include your entire path so I can sell you my PC. ;-)
Thanks.

In 2018, TI-99/4a hardware and software are strong. :-) Hope you held onto your TI's!
