Oh the TI-83 Plus also definitely was the subject of my experimentation during that time, or maybe a bit after it. But then with the programming mode and actual code. The TI-83 Plus is actually what got me the advice to study computer science. During a physics class we got a lesson on modelling in some silly programming language. Because it was going very slow, I translated the program/simulation my teacher was showing to the calculator. At the end of the lesson I came up to her and showed it to her. She was like "That's impressive, you should look into computer science". Somehow I hadn't considered that before
