The Earlier 99/4 Uses the TMS9918

With another TI price cut, retailers sold remaining inventory of the former $1,150 computer during Christmas for $49. The 99/4A became the first in a series of home computers to be orphaned by their manufacturer over the next few years, along with the Coleco Adam, Mattel Aquarius, Timex Sinclair 1000, and IBM PCjr. The TMS9900's machine language instructions must be word-aligned, so at least 16-bits are needed for every instruction. At the time, memory was expensive, so the size of this format was a concern. Additionally, programming the 8-bit side of the system from 16-bit code is somewhat complex. To address this, TI built a pseudo-assembly language known as "Graphic Programming Language", or GPL. This is a compact 8-bit language interpreted by the CPU which dynamically translates the GPL instructions into one or more TMS9900 instructions. GPL also includes utility routines that appear as single instructions in GPL code, allowing complex operations to be reduced to small sequences of code.

Done right, your content marketing will not only attract prospects but also move them through a marketing funnel to drive more sales and grow your business. What do we mean by that? Simply that content marketing can't do its job if it's limited to blogging. It's so much more than blogging. You see, content marketing is a full-funnel tactic, meaning it should deliver valuable content at every stage of the Customer Value Journey. To move your prospect through the Customer Value Journey, you'll need to create content that satisfies their needs at each of the 3 conversion funnel stages: Awareness, Evaluation, and Conversion. You'll learn all about it-including how to plan your content marketing strategy and how to create "perfect" content-here. The secret to powerful digital marketing is traffic. If you can master traffic acquisition, you have a solid foundation for higher sales and growth. Keep in mind, though, there's more to digital advertising than throwing up an ad and hoping for results.

Temporary placeholders for information are called variables and are stored in memory. In a computer, it is a trivial operation to form a variable that holds a numerical value. And it is also simple to make data structures - variables in memory that contain links that can be followed to get to other variables. One of the simplest data structures is a list - a sequence of variables that can be read item by item. For example, one could store a list of players’ names on a sports team and then read each name one by one. A more complicated data structure is a tree. In a family tree for instance, links from children to parents can be followed to read out a line of ancestry. One of the most complex and general data structures is a graph, like the London Underground network. When we designed DNCs, we wanted machines that could learn to form and navigate complex data structures on their own.

While that won’t interest most users, it shows how capable this PC is. Visually, the Microsoft Surface Studio is a stunning machine. All the CPU components are moved to the base, and the display is just a touchscreen with slim bezels. Without any bulk at the back of the monitor, the screen's profile is just 12.5mm, making it one of the slimmest monitors on the market. We've always loved the Apple iMac, and now Apple has produced a professional-orientated, workstation-level version called the iMac Pro. This is a seriously powerful all-in-one with cutting-edge tech, with a choice of powerful Intel Xeon W processors, bags of RAM, and hefty graphical processing power. All of this is in an iconic Apple design. If you have the budget for it, the iMac Pro is one of the best business PCs money can buy. It goes for much more than what most consumers would be willing to spend on a computer, but for professionals that want a dedicated workstation to streamline a heavy-duty workflow, the price is worth the convenience and performance. ᠎Post h as  be᠎en c re at᠎ed  by GSA ​Cont​ent Ge​ne rato r  DE MO!
