I'm pretty sure you know what follows...
Image transcript
A recreation of the Piper Perri Surrounded meme. A white CASIO CFX-9850GB PLUS calculator is laid on its side on a cushion while three TI-83 Plus and two TI-84 Plus calculators, all black, are standing behind the cushion. The faces of corresponding actors are shown in 4-tone pixelated pictures on each calculator's respective screens, grayscale on the TIs and sepia-toned on the CASIO thanks to its (limited) color graphics. Words of the text "Original meme by Chaotic Neutral Czech" are used in place of the SHIFT functions on a row of keys on the Casio as a mild watermark.
There are only 3 models of calculators in the shot (the TI-83 looks different in a rubber case) and I had one of each. It's a composite photo. And after returning the borrowed CASIO and selling the TI-84, I only had a $10 overall cost and still keep the TI-83.
More on how I did this
Sorry to be nosy but I'm just curious bc TIs are not very common over here. Are you a Czech who's moved to America?
Not very common? It is easier and cheaper to buy a 10-year-old used TI-84 Plus than a comparable CASIO.
I am still in the Czech Republic. I just did IB (mezinárodní maturita).
Oh cool so did I in '21! Actually that's true we did have to use a TI for A&A maths
I did Math HL and still got bored so I picked the affordable calculator on which I could play Solitaire, Tetris and Mario. CASIO calculators also had games and a friend sometimes lent me his CFX-9850+ (pictured) where I would code up Mastermind, TriPeaks and Snake in CASIO Basic, which was friendlier than TI-BASIC, as well as a manual image importing program. I later made a cable so I have them backed up to this day, I will publish them once I found the source.
