I had a TI-57 (memory wiped out when turning it off) and a TI-59 (can save programs on cardboards with a magnetic side), programmed in a kind of assembly language (but with high level functions). I wrote my first programs with them, and one of these programs gave me the winning Lotto numbers allowing me to buy my first computer! (a CBM 4016...)Alas, for budget reason, we bought to my daughter the cheapest model, with only TI-Basic... :-/Programming games in TI Basic on a low-end calculator is a good lesson in resource conservation. Those who had a TI 83 with its limited memory, number of variables and images know what I mean :)
