Mini-Mag 99
Mini-Mag 99 was a short-lived magazine, black-and-white magazine focusing on the TI-99/4A magazine. It was printed in a smaller page format than say, Micropendium, which was an 8 & 1/2 by 11 inch format magazine. By contrast, Mini-Mag 99 was printed on half-sheet pages of 5 & 1/2 by 8 & 1/2 inch sheets. As far as I have been able to discover, only three issues of the magazine were ever published, the March, April, and May issues of 1985.

Mini-Mag 99 was a publication dedicated to all things TI-99/4A. It was published by S.O.S. Publishers and edited by Leslyn Tepper. Published in 5 1/2 by 8 1/2 page format, the size matched that of most software manuals for the computer at the time. It was published in black-and-white on a slick paper. It appears that only three issues were ever published and mailed out to subscribers. I haven't found out why that is the case. The three issues I've found are the March, April, and May issues of 1985.

Welcome Letter
Dear Readers:
Welcome to the first issue of MINI-MAG 99!
MINI-MAG 99 is a major national publication exclusively written for TI-99/4A users. We will cover all levels of information, including application, education, how-tos, product news, practical hints, etc.
We have received support from key dealers and users groups, as well as third party manufacturers, who have assured us of continued product and software availability for the 99 I 4A.
Since the so-called "death of the 99," there has been more activity than ever before. More companies have provided product support, since they are not up against Texas Instruments.
At the recent CES, new products were announced that will bring the capability level of the 99 I 4A to that of the IBM PC-products like MAC Paint and module screen dumps.
MINI-MAG 99 is dedicated to the TI user-YOU! We look foward to providing you with information and news that will help you to use your TI-99 I 4A to its fullest!
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Leslyn Tepper Editor MINI-MAG 99
