Zach WeinersmithUpdate. 9-year-old got Kelly's old TI-83. It's like getting the family lightsaber.
Paper ClipAt least no TI calculator was used to murder Younglings. As far as we know.
klarno ๐๐๐@ZachWeinersmith @paper_clip arguably thatโs all theyโre used for ๐
Matte๊ฎ Italia@ZachWeinersmith reminds me of my grandpa giving me his old Casio PB-700 when I was 8 and his HP 28C a few years later; I felt really honored to receive his real actual tools, and I think they played a big role in getting deeply fond of programming.
rhempel@cvtsi2sd @ZachWeinersmith He must love you very much - I haven't given my HP calculators to my engineer sons ๐
aburka ๐ซฃ@ZachWeinersmith An elegant weapon for a more civilized age, indeed.

AMS@ZachWeinersmith I use my grandfather's HP-41 every day.
Paul Koenig@ZachWeinersmith There are three sides to the Force: TI, HP, and Casio.
Nick Foster@ZachWeinersmith engineer here.The more they learn about how to wield (purposeful choice of words ๐) that device, the better they will do in school later on ๐
Dag รien@ZachWeinersmith In a few years you may show your kid TIโs RPN calculators, if they still exist. RPN really clicked with me, and my TI 42S RPN (?) really was my lightsaber through high school and university.
