the Texas Instruments TI-99/4A home computer (1981)

Texas Instruments was a U.S. based technology company ahead of its time. In 1981 they released the TI-99 home computer. It used a microprocessor they made themselves, the TMS9900 @ 3 MHz. It was the first 16-bit home computer. Powerful for back then.

In 1979, Texas Instruments was the largest semiconductor manufacturer in the world. They made a lot of their profit from the sale of larger business computer systems and handheld calculators. An example of what American innovation can be…TI’s technology was way ahead of anything the Asian countries could manufacture back then.

While we are on the topic of Texas Instruments, the TI Speak and Spell became the most popular electronic educational spelling toy in history.

TI engineer Paul Breedlove (picture: center right) invented the Speak and Spell for his daughter to help teach her how to spell. Breedlove is an important electrical engineer in American and Texas history as he also invented one of the first microprocessors when he worked for Motorola. He was a graduate of Texas Tech University and SMU.

Paul was awarded the Consumer Electronics Award in 1993 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. He is now resting in the kingdom of Jesus.

Evil Bill Gates is now one of the largest shareholders in Ecolab, a company that sells water treatment plants ‘solutions’.

He’s trying to get control of farmland all over the U.S., and now water. Why?

Will these psychos try to put vaccines in our water supply?
