 '''Mini-Mag 99''' was a short-lived, black-and-white publication dedicated to treating both TI-99/4A hardware and software. It was published by S.O.S. Publishers and edited by Leslyn Tepper. Unlike other magazines dedicated to TI-99/4A information, Mini-Mag 99 was a smaller format printed on 5 & 1/2 by 8 & 1/2 inches vs. 8 & 1/2 by 11 inches for publications such as [[Micropendium]] and 99'er Magazine. From what I've been able to discover, although meant to be published monthly, only three issues of Mini-Mag 99 were ever published: March 1985, April 1985, and May 1985. All three are available for download near the bottom of this page.
-Although the magazine didn't publish many issues, those available contain great information and hope for the future of the TI-99/4A, even though it began publication after Texas Instruments had already announced its plans to discontinue support for the computer. Being printed in a smaller format, each issue contains approximately half the information of publications printed on larger page formats. The smaller format lent itself well to reading, however, being easier to hold. It's dimensions matched much closer to the dimensions of most software manuals for the computer at the time.

-'''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.
