Texas Instruments TI-99/4A - Software Types and Care

When computers similar to your TI-99/4A first
appeared on the consumer market, the amount
of pre-packaged software was limited, and you
were often forced to learn programming so that
you could create your own software. Fortunate
ly, this situation has changed, and a wide array
of
software is available for your computer. You
can still write your own software if you want to,
but you don't have to.
The TI-99/4A can use cassette, cartridge, or disk
software. All three of these software formats
have advantages and disadvantages. What for-
mat(s) you decide to use will depend on what
you want to use the computer for and how
much money you want to spend.
