ive never accually taken apart a TI83 before so not sure exactly what inside but do you think you could do something funny like add more memory or something stupid like that.

you can overclock it, now that would be [H]ard :cool:

well if youre that persistent..

its external though and requires you to dl a program to your calculator to be able to access the extra memory i believe. theres a bunch of these projects on google if you search for them. if youre looking for a somewhat useful mod, backlighting sounds cool.. maybe not practical for battery life though.
 
The overclock mod is definately well worth it, I have my TI-89 OC'd about 40% :cool:

Be careful though, running it too fast will cause memory corruption, I had to try several capacitors before it was stable. 3d graphs make a good "prime95" for TI-89s :D

well thats not how we do it here at the [H]orde.

If it ain't broken you ain't working it [H]ard enough! :D
 
Hehe, I used to have a TI-85 in HS (got it when I was a soph in '96). The thing rocked back then, I was blown away I could play games on it.

The other day, I started playing with one of my students' TI-83+ Silver edition or whatever, the fucking thing had a USB port on it! I was blown away... plus, she had some really awesome games on it...

the ti-83+ has a lot of memory if the OP is looking for a new calculator.

what im dying to ask is, how does it feel to be a teacher (the receiving end ;) ) after being a student for so long?

Very, very, weird. I'm teaching the age-level I swore to myself I would never touch (middle school) but, I took a sholarship that required me to teach for four years in the state after graduation, else pay back the full scholarship I was given at like 23% interest, and it was the only job that was open the year after I graduated, plus, there are few jobs in my field in general. It has its moments, but wow, if I'd known the hell and planning my teachers when through when I was in school, I would have been a hell of a lot easier on them.
