Did anyone else learn to code on a TI-83+? Although I doubt I'd use this in a professional setting, making coding accessible to more people sounds great to me.

- Jtsummers 4y agoTandy 1000, parents sold it. Then TI-85 until a student I was tutoring stole it. Then a TI-86 and HP-48G, plus a high school CS class that used True BASIC on some kind of Macintosh, and by that point C++ and others on my PC at home. But a lot of time in chemistry and on the school bus rides was spent programming on my calculators.

- romeoblade 4y agoI ended up with a TI-86 as the cheaper ones were sold out at the time of the school supply rush. It's the only reason I passed my math classes in high school. Luckily I kept my mouth shut so the teachers didn't know. Eventually they implemented a factory reset procedure on test day. You would bring up the reset menu and the teacher would walk around and initiate it and confirm it.
