This is a TI-99/4A. I still have one with two LOGO language ROMs, one in English and one in Italian. It was supposed to be the hardware of a project meant to teach LOGO to primary school children, sponsored by the Italian National Research Council with manuals and books provided by Mondadori, such as "LOGO: Alas para la mente" by Horacio C.Reggini, but Texas Instruments ended sales for it and the project failed.

Yeah, We are, I owned several Amiga computers too, No C64 though as It looked too complex, Not as polished as the Atari 400/800 line.

For lots of ads from the best computer ever I recommend this site:

http://www.amigau.com/aig/adverts/adverts.html

Too sad that current OS 4.x and PPC-Amigas are no big sale. Would be a great alternative to the M$-(and all the two others)-world...
