I don't use any on mine. It gets used when I feel like programing something that will allow me to take a break from my other projects...

I used to use a TI-82...It was my sister's, I borrowed it from her...it's what got me interested in TIs.

I only put a shell on it once, long ago...I put Ash on it so I could run a rom dumper (which, of course, didn't really work, but anyhow.)

Now I've got an 89...but those were the days.

...good times...

I don't use an 82, but I marked Crash because I once put it on somebody's calculator who paid me to put games on it (hope that acts as a nice transition...)

82???

You didn't just say that, did you? Wow...I think I'll let an old-timer (no offense) like no_one handle this.

20,000 UID's are old timers? I'll admit that there aren't many users around from way back, but there are still a few of us left.

That said, I know we aren't usually the most vocal group. Have at it, no_one!

Michael Vincent has everyone beat among those who have posted so far.
I won't bother mentioning the single digit UID ticalc staff members...

Well, I know Magnus is 5. He should have been 1. :)

no_one is practically an infant compared to you, Oh Great One...

Yeah, that's true... 20953 isn't really old at all. And then a lot of other people were around here for longer than me, but didn't create their accounts until a year or so later.

I'm not trying to take any credit away from no_one. He appears to be one of the most active members of the community, and therefore one of the most valuable. Users like him keep this site going.

Nah, the people who keep the site going are the staff (of course) and the ones who make all the cool programs that get featured. :) I just download their cool programs. ;-) Unfortunately, I don't have the inspiration or time required to make something cool. Pretty much all the programming I do on my calculator is stuff I use just for myself, not anything that would be worth uploading. You know, little programs to assist you in AP chem, honors physics, etc.

Do you mean "What's a TI-82?" or "I can't believe this poll is about the TI-82?" The first is just SAD... but the second is more understandable.

Yeah, there are a _bunch_ of new models that beat the 82 in many ways, but that doesn't mean the TI-82 is bad or anything. Surprisingly enough, I get by rather well with only 28K of RAM and CrASH on my 82. It's oldschool. ;-) But if you're looking about major positives to the TI-82: It's MUCH cheaper than, say, the TI-84+SE. It's incredibly easy to use (or at least, I think so). Any program you make on the TI-82 can be easily transfered to the 83, 83+, 83+SE, 84+, or 84+SE (BASIC, not ASM). The TI-82 z80 asm, in MY opinion is cooler than the TI-83/+ z80. (I don't know why, but I like it more... however, most people disagree with that) Nobody will want to steal it from you, since you can get it off eBay for like... five bucks. :-P

So, even though it doesn't have flash/archive, string variables, pretty print, more options, etc... some people still use 'em quite regularly and DO use a shell (hopefully, CrASH ;-)).

w00t! for the TI-82.

<n0Ob>82 sukz! my 83 cn beet ur wimpy 82!!! BTW, how doo u get zee gams on the calcyulater?!!?</n0Ob>

Hello! are we discussing 70's here? wtf!! 82!!! rofl!!

n00b.

lol

*cough*120d\!*cough*

Who voted other? What other shell is there? They mentioned all the ones I know of...

Btw, look at the statistics. Only about 13 people use a TI-82. :(

I still love playing those classic z80 games on my 82. If there's anybody who's currently taking Biology--trust me... playing Penguins 82 in the middle of Biology is the best. ;-)

Yeah Bill Nagel!

Who's Bill Nagel?

Jo Mamma!!!! Oh! Dissed! (sorry. I couldn't help it :) )

You have not heard of the Nagel?!? Heretic! You shal burn!

-W-

He was a baseball player. His full name is William Taylor Nagel. He died in 1981.

Oh, not THAT Bill Nagel? Ok...

Ticalc's Bill Nagel wrote Penguins and a bunch of other games and programs. He's a good programmer. He hasn't been around here for a few years, it seems.

>> Btw, look at the statistics. Only about 13 people use a TI-82.

Well, if you click the "Community" tab at the top and search for users that own an 82, it returns over 3000 results...that's less than 10%, but still quite a few...

Alot of people have one, but not many actually USE them...

Maybe someone wrote their own shell? :)

But more than 13 people voted in this poll...

Never mind, I just realized there's a difference between owning a TI-82 and using one...
