Ever own a Ti994A? Did you end up using it as a doorstop or a bookened like me?

Answer 1

I had one, and it's a sad story. I wrote a small number generator program that would pick numbers at random without duplication from 1 to 46. (the same as the Illinois lottery at the time)

Once I got the bugs out, I ran 4 or 5 series of numbers & watched the news to see if any of them ever got close. It hit all 5 numbers on one of the picks...
I didn't buy a ticket that week with the numbers it picked, and it never hit any more than 3 after that.
