Mario, yes I remember tape with my TI-99/4A - my first computer, which makes me a little bit of a late starter.
I actually sold my aftermarket user styles on either a 5.25" or 3.5" floppy disk for a while with a DOS installer for PC because the Windows version hadn't come out yet.
My how things have progressed. It's like comparing a Model T to a 21st century Ford Explorer.
