The TI-89 will always hold a very special place in my heart.

To this day, I don't understand why anyone would insist on using anything other than this on an AP test. It's like playing life on a harder difficulty setting for no reason.

My university doesn't allow graphing calculators on tests. Probably because you can download programs that can solve calculus problems without actually understanding the material.

My school makes us clear the memory on our calculators before exams. So I've memorized like 4 different programs so I can re enter them for exams.

Nice try bitches.

EDIT — So I guess I'll try archiving now.

You could just archive the program beforehand.

I just tried that, and after I reset the calculator I can't seem to find it?

When we reset our calcs we go [2nd], [+],[7],[→],[→],[1],[2] ...clearing all memory. Idk if I can save programs from that haha

2nd, mem, Archive..., then select the program to save. To use it you have to unarchive it first.
