I still have my first BASIC program for the TI-99 stored on a cassette in storage. My grandpa, who was an engineer at Parsons in Pasadena, bought it for me when I was 5 years old. My then 9-year old cousin then taught me how to program (Hi David, if you're reading this). We're both engineers now.

The program, incidentally, counts to 1,000,000 and outputs each number on the screen, it took 3 days to run.

Well, the cassette is certainly probably still where you put it...

My brother dropped off a box he saved for me a few years ago that contained my old TI tapes. A person on the TI-99/4A user group offered to read some in and provide emulator disk images. It actually worked and I was able to play the game I wrote back in 1982 again. Here's a screen shot http://i.imgur.com/4d74DqX.jpg
