The Beautiful TI-108

I loved programming so much in high school that I would routinely hack in TI-BASIC on these things as much as I could. It was an excellent language to cut your teeth on.

TI-BASIC and z80 assembly (TI-86) helped me get my programming fix during the day in high school since we had no programming classes.

Sounds similar to my experience. My first exposure to programming was automating repetitive homework assignments and building simple games on the TI-83 Plus.

Typing code using calculator buttons was pretty tedious.

I first learned how to program by reading - nearly cover to cover - the TI-83 instruction manual. Fantastic.
