627: You take a USB to Mini-USB cable, a Mini-USB to Mini-USB cable, headphones with a 2.5 mm adapter and a Presentation Link with you everywhere you go (I actually do this :D)

623: You used a nintendo DS emulator on your pc, to emulate TIOS, to emulate a gameboy.
625: Like 623, but using a Wii emulator to emulate a DS emulator instead of simply running a DS emulator

628: You've written any of the above emulators just so you could emulate TI-OS.

630: You have a timeline of calculators bookmarked in your browser.

I'm guilty of this (for Casio-BASIC) ;D

I have a link to the timeline for all Casio Second generation calculators and their features:

http://www.spiderpixel.co.uk/caspro/subhtml/history.html

There's also a link to an interesting English/French calculator equivalence table at the top of the page.

Here's a link to the TI calculators up through the TI-85. A list of ALL of the newer TI calculators can be found here. A good source of general TI information is http://www.vcalc.net/ti.htm. I saw an HP timeline once, but nobody cares about HP, right  ;)

Oh right I remember that Casio link now. I wish they were all in order tho x.x

I should maybe make a timeline of all graphing calcs by TI, Casio and HP into one. As for HP there isn't much of a community it seems. THere were some programs back then but it seems dead. It never even became as active as the TI or Casio community. What I often heard were complaints that those calcs were too hard to use compared to TI and Casio calcs.

I HAD an HP. I never figured out how to use it. Bloody difficult and the documentation wasn't much better. I ended up graphing by hand rather than use the thing, until I bought my current 84+ SE.

One thing I have heard was about the RPN. Could you even select regular calculation mode, like 2+2, giving 4 as answer, or were you forced to use reverse polish notation? For anyone who don't know what RPN might look like, this XKCD kinda illustrates it: http://xkcd.com/645/

I heard in newer calcs you could use regular mode. I heard that one of the new calc had clunky keys, though, which broke easier. I think it was the 49G+. The 50G looked promising but I never found a community for it that produces games and stuff. It seems like only the TI community got forums where people can showcase their projects.

I don't know. I could never figure out anything on it. Even addition/multiplication/subtraction/division was kind of difficult (although not RPN difficult. It was a hybrid between the two, I think). And yes, the keys were awkward.

No, no. The authors of the TI-OS were definitely not 1337.

I think 629 would've been more suitable for 666.

631: You ignore all the bad comments of math teacher while ur programming. Finally, Math teacher gives up on you. You're free to program without listening to him.(This happened to me)
632: You have played zelda LA with earphone in TI-84+ SE and actually beat it more than 1 time.
633: You have swapped calc with ur friend to use TI-boy SE

oops... I'm not allowed to post here am I?

I have done 633.
634: Your math teacher is threatening to force you to use a TI-32 during class
