Vintage Challenge

Can we connect-up the longest working TI-99 ?!

Jeri Ellsworth & Amy Herndon, creators of the Tilt Five AR System, are exhibiting their TI-99/4 Computer & Color Monitor along with a selection of Sidecars. We'd love to see how ridiculously long they can make that TI-99! Bring your Sidecars to the fest and we'll see if we can break some kind of record for the longest working TI-99. 🤠

We're gonna need a bigger table!
