John wrote the following, though the source is unknown to me. I found this information on [http://www.99er.net/jphillips.html|www.99er.net].
I started working for TI in their "IS&S" division in Dallas in 1982 after graduating from Illinois State in 1982. I owned a TI-99/4 that I bought from JC Penney in 1981 and learned to program it in Basic and Extended Basic. During my on-campus interviews with TI at Illinois State, I mentioned that I really wanted to work in the Home Computer Division, but TI felt my strengths were best served elsewhere. They offered me a position in Dallas working for their "IS&S" division.
