Micropendium, called "Home Computer Compendium" for the first three issues, is a TI-99/4A related magazine first released in February 1984. It was perhaps the longest-running magazine covering the TI-99/4A, running through June 1999. It was printed on newspaper-style paper and for the most part, was printed in black and white or two-color format.

John Koloen was the publisher of the magazine, and Laura Burns was the editor. Micropendium, being published for over 10 years after Texas Instruments canceled the production and distribution of the TI-99/4A or any other computer system, helped keep the TI-99/4A a viable computer system for a long time, much longer than would have been expected, after its discontinuation.
Micropnedium included a variety of different articles including hardware add-on reviews, software reviews, programming including community submitted programs, and how-to's. It also included, like most magazines, user feedback sections. It helped to advertise upcoming TI Fairs that occurred throughout the time in many areas of the United States. Important contributors to the magazine including John Koloen, C. Regina, Charles Good, and many many others.
