GaryOPA - TI99 Retro Xmas 2025 Present Arrived Today!

Back in May, my original POP-Cart (XB3 Prototype APWW000) appeared on #eBay after "Asgard Software" decided to quickly dump all her remaining "Texas Instruments" stock. 😢

Sadly it quickly, got sold to an #Nintendo collector, just because I being the world's infamous "Gary Bowser" "Team-Xecuter" #Switch pirate aka #GaryOPA, they wanted something special for their private collection that was designed by me, even tho it was from my legit days during the '90s, when my company "Oasis Pensive Abacutors" was making hardware for the TI-99/4A.

But thankfully, after much negotiations back and forth with the amazing help of Mr. Holcomb, another collector that also has an wonderful & caring heart, plus supports the retro hobbyist community, the device is now safely back in my hands, and I can begin the task of updating my POP-Cart for today's era of Retro Computing on the TI99, and re-releasing it with more amazing features!

Enjoy the following quick video I made, after letting the parcel warm up from our cold & windy Canadian winter we are having right now. Many thanks again to David for his help in the negotiations, and also to all the other retro hobbyist's out there that is supportive of my restarting my life back in Canada, after my federal custody and lawsuits were completed. 🙏

I am looking forward to enjoying my 3rd Xmas back in Canada, even tho its colder this year, with my closest friends and family around, as I continue to focus on improving my overall well-being, and most important my health and moving forward step by step with getting more things done for the TI99, MSX, NABU, Coleco/Adam retro computing communities. 🥰

Stay tuned, there is so much more happening still in December, and the New Year 2026 will be packed with lots of updates on my various projects, with of course as usual thanks to all those that have been supportive and best holiday wishes to everyone in the retro community.
