TI-85 all the way! TI-81 is close second

Yeesh, and here I thought that the TI-81 was named because it was released in 1981.

Some of the early models were named after the graduation years of their lead engineers, from what I've heard. The more you know. :) And wow, great to see you again; I haven't seen you in the community for months if not years. :)

Thanks! I've been mostly lurking and observing the past year.

The TI-81 was released in 1990, with production possibly during 1989 too.

It was between the TI-81 & the TI-80 for me, but I ultimately went with the TI-80 because it has a weirder CPU architecture. That, & the ViewScreen model has a link port. I never bothered to do much with the TI-81 after hacking it because of how long it takes to type in all that code.

I keep meaning to finish my port of Tetris to the TI-80 (& to clean up the ROM dumper for public release), but school (& some more personally interesting projects) keeps getting in the way.
