... found scrawled in my notes of ancient lore from ages past....

Take a TI-58

Partition it to 479.00 via CLR 2nd Op 17

Key in the following - disregarding any flashing displays:

GTO 441

LRN

2nd List

00000

LRN

2nd Pgm 11

SBR 444

R/S

LRN

... and the eyes of Texas Instruments shall be upon you.

Thanks to Maurice Swinnen for coming up with fractured displays on the TI calculators!

Hey Tom! Nice to see you around. And nice to know you're into old
calculators as well as old computers. Stay safe. -John

Hi, John. Yeah. If it calculates, I'm into it! I've been into programmable calculators ever since the MITS RPN desktop with a seven-level stack and an external octal programmer. That came out a few months before their Altair 8800.
Fascinating stuff!
