Back in my hands again. This system has spent the last 20 years at my dad's house. I shipped it his way when I started using IBMs at work in college. He wanted to get more familiar with computers.

The Texas Instruments TI 59 was a programmable calculator introduced in 1979. My father did an oilfield engineering degree with this one, i have the dock and printer s well, classic of early technology
This is most of my Semiconductor Devices class from BYU during our recent field trip to the Texas Instruments Chip Fab in Lehi, Utah.
The host of The Henry Ford’s Innovation Nation television show, Mo Rocca, talks with The Henry Ford Curator of Transportation, Matt Anderson, for an Innovation Nation segment on air traffic control.
The box in front of Rocca and Anderson is a 1969 air traffic control radar scope. This model of computer-integrated scope was one of the first units capable of displaying an airplane’s identification number and altitude directly on the screen. This model of scope was built by Texas Instruments Inc. for the Univac Division of Sperry Rand Corp. This particular scope was used at Detroit Metro Airport from 1970 to 2001.
The plane in the background is a 1928 4AT-B Ford Trimotor. The Trimotor was a passenger and cargo aircraft.The first Trimotor flew in 1926. The capabilities of the aircraft, the Ford name, and a Ford advertising campaign helped popularize travel by air. The Trimotor was designed by William Bushnell Stout and built by the Stout Metal Airplane Division of the Ford Motor Company. The skin was corrugated aluminum alloy. The aircraft was powered by one Wright Cyclone and two Wright Whirlwind engines.
This particular Ford Trimotor, “Floyd Bennett”, was the first aircraft to fly over the South Pole. This occurred in 1929 as part of Richard E. Byrd’s expedition. Byrd named the plane after the pilot of his earlier North Pole flight, who had died a few months before the South Pole flight. Edsel Ford was a sponsor of the South Pole flight and donated the Trimotor to the expedition. After the flight, the aircraft was left in Antarctica for five years. After it was returned to the United States, Edsel Ford donated it to the Henry Ford Museum.

The cover of the booklet for another of my old TI99/4A games.
From the '80s, when the graphics promoting the game were better than those in the game.
Munchman was a Pac-Man knock-off; no better, no worse. It was alright.
Tomorrow I´ll now if I´m gonna study math all summer for the re-exam - well I´ll know if I´m totally screwed, that is :-)
Please cross your fingers for me between 8.45-15.00!
Manufactured as a Convair 440 and later converted to the turboprop 580 version.
Seen here in the storage area during September 2023.
Used by Raytheon E-systems in later years, she still has her modified nose in tact.
It seems like her last flight was from nearby Tucson International to Davis-Monthan on 8th August 2023.
There I was, at the Richardson, TX, campus of Texas Instruments. I was an employee, this was a weekday, I was at work, and this is how we dressed back then. LOL!
This is a hex buffer and driver with open-drain outputs made by Texas Instruments.
So far, this is one of my favourite dies because I was not expecting much from this chip since it is made by Texas Instruments and their chips tend to have metal layers I cannot remove yet. It is also one of the best results I've ever gotten with my stitching software (RMS of 1.63). This chip is very tiny, about a millimetre wide / long.
Based on the inscription in the bottom left it appears to have been designed in 1994. There are also inscriptions in the top left and bottom left corners. The top left reads "LVC07 B". I am not sure if the V is a U or if the 0 is an O. The bottom right has the TI logo (upside down) which I recognize from some other chips I've seen before.

To replenish the contents of the Gray-E box, I added a Sony “Sports” Walkman model F63/F73 (which I’ve previously documented here), a pair of Thomas & Betts/Ansley female to female DB25 ribbon cables, the power supply board from an Ehman Engineering hard drive case, the digital controller board from a Bosch dishwasher, and a Texas Instruments SR-40 calculator from the late 70s.
When I was in Secondary 5, this solar-powered TI-37 was my trusty companion. It's now my daughter's, some 30 years later.
This chip is made by Texas Instruments and contains four 2-Input Positive-NAND Gates. Judging by the "84" on the middle left side, it appears to have been designed in 1984.

I'd always wished we'd gotten a Commodore 64, or even a VIC-20, but no, in 1983, we got one of these, the TI99/4A. It had low memory, its games were sucky, except the Atari-soft ones. The joysticks were crap; had to upgrade to better ones.
Scan from 99'er Home Computer Magazine, November 1983.
It pretty much fired right up. The 1 key didn't work and the 2 key was intermittent but that was it, and they were fixable.
Yep, she's already addicted to TI Invaders!

Bought new from a parts distributor. Was curious to see the differences between 2-Input and 3-Input gates.
I also bought 4-Input Gates and some other gate types but TI seems to have switched to a new way of making these chips and they are much much smaller and completely covered in metal, so I can't do anything with them.

Science Camp – Week One:
We started off our Summer Camp season with our Science Summer Camp for girls. What a great week of learning and fun experiments! With our fearless leader, Jennifer Stimpson, teaching for our Science Camp we had a blast.
The girls had an opportunity to learn about the periodic table and conduct experiments that helped reinforce what they were learning. The campers also learned about four Scientists in our “Mystery Scientist” challenge in which they were given clues to figure out who their scientist’s were. After finding their mystery scientist, each team created a skit to teach others about their scientist, which they presented on Friday for museum staff and parents. The campers also had the opportunity to make homemade Shea butter lotion, the differences in penny materials, see an IMAX film about prehistoric sea creatures, tour the museum, and much more...
Convair CV240-1 N240HH at the Planes of Fame Museum, Chino California on the 20th October 1996.
Built in 1948 with c/n 47 this old bird was used for trials work with Texas Instruments before being retired to Chino.
Since this shot was taken she was been reconfigured with a standard 240 nose and painted up to represent a 'Western Air Lines' machine from the 1950's.
Scanned 35mm transparency

The MAN - the MYTH - the LEGEND - John W. Young - STS-9.
Official NASA description: Astronaut John W. Young, Crew Commander, takes notes at the Commander's Station on the flight deck of Columbia. The Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) among the forward panels, displays the orbiter's position in relation to the Earth on its monitor.
Along with there being a CRT, doesn't that look like a Texas Instruments calculator below John's right hand?
Apparently, it's an HP-41:

Along with Owen Garriott, this was to be John's last spaceflight.
