The TI-74 is a machine which learns from the mistakes and fixes the problems faced by TI's Compact Computer 40 and TI-99 before it. It still features a TI BASIC largely compatible with TI-99 Extended BASIC and a TI CPU in TI's TMS7000 series, and is TI's last attempt to sell an in-house BASIC computer running on in-house hardware, before abandoning TI BASIC once and for all with the TI-95 in 1987 (and much, much later, releasing another language called "TI-BASIC" which is not strictly speaking a BASIC dialect at all, on the TI-83, in 1996).
