- nxobject 2y agoPerhaps it was tokenising commands to save memory. Did your calculator have keystroke programming/some form of programming?

- anonzzzies 2y agoPeople are now recreating them specifically to have the same feel out of nostalgia. I actually liked them as a kid; it was so easy to write impressive (for the time) graphical programs with BASIC without remembering all these pesky english words (I am not from an English speaking country).
