I myself used to type incredibly fast on calc. Until I started Illusiat 13 I was pretty rusty, tho and typed 3x slower than on the PC. However my speed picked up again since the past few months

On a side note I realised it will be soon 8 years since I got my first calc (July 4th) o.o

Haha, that's the same here. They find it surprising that I can type without even looking at the keyboard. It's fun to amaze people with something that I personally find unamazing.

Actually, not to brag too much, but I was tempted one day to attempt to write a small RPG on calc that is a bit similar to Illusiat 6, but as fast as possible. If I had something to hold my digital camera while doing so, I could even film myself coding it :P

A decent skill show off is to use one hand on the keyboard and another on the mouse simultaneously.
In some MMORPG, you can chat while killing monsters. xD I have a friend that does that and if I played more, I would too.

And Dvorak keyboard is cheating. ::)

Gah TextRoll'D :P

But yeah, I programmed for almost 8 years now, but I'm still not gonna give you up (even if I would take a 2 years break between Illusiat 13 and my next software)

At the start of eigth grade (3/4 of a year ago), my friend showed me his 83+.  He demonstrated how he was amazing because he could make a very simple program.  I thought Wow, he's good!, and was in awe.  Then, he showed me the code.  It all changed.  I instantly recognized 85% of the code as simple things in all languages (I already knew VB6 and partly C+).  I took his calculator and within a couple class periods, I had completely re-vamped his program so it was amazingly better.  Within a week I had completely figured out all comands (I borrowed it as often as possible) and redid his program again so it was so amazing, it didn't even resemble the original.  A couple weeks later, for my birthday, I got a 84+ (No kidding, I wanted one so bad that I asked for one for my birthday) and laughed in his face.                    And if you read through this, I congragulate you...

Yep.  In every aspect, better than an 83/+/SE
