Heh, this was me with my TI-85 in the late 90s. I had a computer at home, but not in class. So after finishing whatever thing we had to work on in class, I'd write programs and games on my TI-85.
A friend and I wrote a chat program that used the GraphLink cable to send messages back and forth so we could chat in class. This was a neat hack, but considering the cable that came with the 85 was like 2 feet long, it was kinda useless in practice unless we were sitting at the same table. So I made a longer cable at home out of stuff from RadioShack.
Everything was cool until we got caught using the homebrew cable in class. Fortunately, once we showed the principal what we'd done, we were let off with a warning not to have the cable in class anymore. :)
You know, I think I might still have my TI-85 in a box somewhere. I wonder if any of my old programs are still there.
