What if someone were to make a supercomputer out of an array of Ti-83s? That might just be the most epic thing ever. Of course, you'd need a monumental number of calculators, just to match the processing power of a modern desktop, you'd need approximately 500 calculators. But imagine the glory of it: a warehouse sized room filled with rows and rows of server cabinets, each with stacks and stacks of TIs, each with several wires sticking out and flowing together like pythons toward a single central control. A man sits at the console, and with all the flourish necessary for such an occasion, types out "Hello World!"
