When they closed out the TI-99/4A at the Prange-Way department store in Appleton, Wisconsin there was a huge crowd there to grab them due to an ad in the previous evening's newspaper. They also had a newspaper photographer on a ladder in the store to photograph the crowd when the store opened the morning of the sale. I was include in the picture of the crowd on the front page of that evening's newspaper holding onto a TI computer. Funny what a $99 sale would cause people to do.

A better deal showed up later when a few other stores closed them out in the following weeks, with Shopko selling them for only $29.99.
