Yes, the TI was the FIRST 16-Bit Computer ever manufactured. TI invented the
integrated circuit, the microprocessor, and the microcomputer, altogether.
Being first was their tradition. Who knows if it still is?
The TI-99/4A beat IBM just before IBM's PC got popular. TI had a lot of
marketing troubles throughout the 4+ years they tried to market their
machine. This is why we're not running everything on a 64-bit TI machine!
