Diana hasn't really explored the 80's much on OSFirstTimer and yet here we are trying out a Texas Instruments TI-99/4a. Some of the software Diana tries out in this episode was written in the late 70s! Can she make the computer speak? Keep watching to find out!

OSFirstTimer Advanced ditches the original 5 basic tasks and introduces a new random advanced task each episode. The task can involve literally anything from video editing to 3d modelling to programming and even attempting to destroy an operating system.

Random tasks using random software in random operating systems from random time periods... now this will be a lot more interesting! Don't worry though as we may occasionally go back to our roots and do a few "original series" episodes.

I hope you guys enjoy this episode and look forward to whatever crazy task we do next episode on OSFirstTimer Advanced.
