requires someone to turn a knob that runs an Archimedes' screw in order to bring the balls to the top.
Another impressive section dropped balls from the top onto a trampoline and back up into a basket.
Doug won the Farkle game, thanks to a stunning two straights in a row (a straight occurs when you roll
all six dice and get 1 through 6, it scores 1500 points in a game where the goal is to reach 10000
points).
Doug's older daughter had fun poking around with his various calculators, and when the HP49G came
out the first thing she commented on was how funny the buttons are to press.

TI CONNECTION:
What was your first TI calculator?
I got a TI-85 under the Christmas tree in 1994. I spent the rest of the school break reading the manual.
Which TI products do you own?
A TI-86 and a couple of TI GraphLink cables.
What is your favorite TI product?
The TI-86 of course, although the TI-89 and TI-92 Plus are nothing to shake a stick at.
Within the TI community, what are you famous for?
I have written a fairly comprehensive list of Frequently Asked Questions about TI's graphing
calculators. Although for sheer name recognition in the general TI community, I think some of the more
prolific game authors have me beat. In the TI Discussion Groups I'm also famous (or is that infamous?)
for replying to questions with a URL to my FAQ website instead of a direct answer.
When did you start visiting the TI Discussion Groups?
It was probably the fall of 1996 when I first wandered in.
