#2The original manual for the TI83+ is what actually got me into programming. It was pretty nice.

#3It's funny how many software developers got into it due to being bored in class with a TI-83 and randomly trying to create programs.

#5That brings back memories...
In 2008 I was in high school and wrote a TI-BASIC tutorial in German [0] on my blog that became by far the most popular thing I wrote - maybe on par with my post about how to fix a quest bug in Skyrim by teleporting Delphine.
I was a bit mad back then that people for some reason appreciated those posts more than many very deep teenager ramblings about politics/philosophy :D

#6There‘s HP calculator guys and TI guys. Around the age of 17 I spent lots of time programming my HP28s calculator in a Forth like language that had symbolic mathematics, lots of ideas from Scheme (closures, functions as first class arguments, recursion). It felt like magic dealing with concepts I hadn’t seen in the C compiler on my Amiga or later in Turbo Pascal. But I saw these concepts later in Mathematica and was familiar.
I had programmed games, complex 3d visualisations (super slow but oh well), and was totally fascinated by what this device could do.

Luckily for me the company that hosted mine went under, nothing is accessible anymore, and there is no snapshot in the Internet Archive.

The rest of the world only has Casio, I think.
