Ti 83 plus here too :) Such a great platform to start on. Press right arrow to go to the edit tab, easy to see examples. And the instructions in the manual!!! Whoever put those there is responsible for my career, or at least my passion. Realizing that I didnt have to do math homework was addicting :) "programs that "did the homework for you" " Lol, I was careful not to tell people about those. I knew they would peer pressure me, and eventually they would get caught using one on a test. "And your experience mirrored mine as far as external interest" I think this is common for any creative task. I love music, but I never really cared to learn the scales, or any instruments. Nor do I listen when others talk about them. Nobody wants to see how the sausage is made I guess :)
