The Rocky Mountain 99ers, or Denver, Colorado, know what to do after they've entered OLD CS1 when they really meant to enter SAVE CS1. All is not lost, they say. Before doing something really silly, like turning the console off and losing everything, they suggest you type SHIFT E and press the enter key. You'll get an I/O error, but don't worry. You'll still have the program in memory and get a second chance at saving it.
===Tone dialer===
Members of the 99/4A Owner/Users Group of Wonder Lake, Illinois, have learned how to use the sound capabilities of the their computers to dial the phone. Listed below are the ten tones required by a standard "tone phone." The Wonder Lake group says that if you place the telephone mouthpiece near the speaker of your monitor or television and use their program, you can let your computer do the dialing. You'll need to add your own input lines, but this will get you started.

===Quick disk backup===
Quality Software claims that its Quick-Copyer utility program is 10 times faster than the TI Disk Manager cartridge when it comes to doing backup copies. Quality Software, of Washington, D.C., says Quick-Copyer "is almost like having a second disk drive, only it is faster and cheaper." The company says its program will copy a single-sided disk in three passes or less, six passes or less for a double-sided disk. The program will run out of Extended BASIC, Editor I Assembler or Mini-Memory. A 32K memory
expansion is required. The cost is $39. 95 plus $2 for shipping and handling.
