Time to move on.

[- Ω -]

My first run with the TI-99/4A was seven years.  This last run lasted nine years, but I've reached that point and age in my life where my interest in the TI-99/4A and even the Atari 5200 is gone.  So everything I would post here in the future would be considered off-topic, so it's probably time to move on.  I just wanted to say it was fun while it lasted, and of all the sites I've hung out at, this one has been the nicest and most pleasant.

Understandable --- moving on to other hobbies.... but you should be sure you're ready to actually sell if that's the avenue you're taking.   I've had many "stints" with the TI, having left it for a time and then come back to it.  So be sure you're done else buying a collection all over again.  (Of course that doesn't mean you can't take a break)

Thanks, but I'll check in once in a while.

Did you enjoy games from a very early age?

Also I found that rotating and cycling between aspects of this hobby, and others, usually cures burnouts. And there are aspects I have yet to explore. And aspects I'll not likely visit much again anytime soon.

Yes that seems to ring true

I played games now and then, but they were not my driving force.  I've not turned on my TI in quite a while, but I did buy something for it last night, maybe that will get me to update a few other things.  I don't remember the TI hobby being this expensive though!  Damn, prices have skyrocketed.
