The Ti-82 was designed by Texas Instruments, as you know.... The calculator contained program coding and assembly capabilities.  My favorite were the traditional If...Then...End statements that made programming code a lot simpler.  Another tactic I learned was to make sufficient use of the matrix system established within the pre-installed operating system.  That just means that the matrices can be used as a network of variables that can accomplish unlimited possibilities for progamming which requires multiple number crunching.  You can rewrite to the matrix values during the course of the program.

EDIT: My vote was yes.
