it is possible look at the physical hardware to see what leads where and if there's anything that those great guys might have missed?

My teacher has an 89 with sticky Coke keys, and a friend of mine has an 86. I have never seen an Nspire or V200! The rest of the calcs i've seen are all 83/84.

I know i'd found a C compiler for the 83 once (might have been pretty basic), but are there any C++ compilers for the 83? you know, classes and all? or Java maybe?

does the z80 processor actually have 256 ports? and are they all used?
besides the plethora of USB ports on the 84, are there any that we still don't know what they're for?

139. You laugh as your friend gets his ipod taken away for watching video clips, then you pretend to do some calculations as you watch a dithered version of "The Matrix": lobby scene.
140. Benjamin Moody's and Brandon Wilson's email addresses are in your contacts even though they have no idea who you are
141. They DO know who you are
142. You have practiced pronouncing Joe Wingbermuehle's name in case you ever meet him
143. A naive friend mistakenly lets his mom by him his first graphing calc: an HP! When he asks you to put some games on it for him, it takes every ounce of your self-control to not bite off his head

133. You've written your own FAT32 driver for flash drives over 4GB to replace the semi-malfunctioning one in USB8x
134. On the rare occasion it's not in your hands, a 'friend' swipes your calc to drive you nuts for a whole class period
135. To get them back for it, you quickly punch in the hex code to activate BLOD on their calc and don't tell them that they have to take out the batteries soon if they want to save it

123- If you write an app that has just run over onto the next page, you HAVE TO make it more elaborate to use up all that space
124- You don't let Mirage show program icons because it drives you nuts to see the generic icon many times
125- Of all your less enthusiastic calc friends, you're the only one who knows that the fasttun slowly shrinks when you get far enough
126- You've written a program to hijack fasttun to see what score you'd get if you played until the car physically can't fit through anymore

110: You've deleted the Finances app
111: You keep track of the date and time when you last Garbage Collected and what programs have been deleted since, in case you need to recover them

106: Instead of raising your hand to ask a question in class, you shout "RST 38H!"
107: When you want to tell someone to do something, you lay down a number in front of them and say "rst 28h"
108: When working with parametric functions, you absent-mindedly write 'X' thinking that it will turn into a 'T'

83. you write your zeros with a slash to tell the difference between them and your capital O's
84. in math class, you accidentally write Y1=... instead of f(x)=...

79-You accidentally wrote an OS that doesn't handle USB interrupts properly, so after sending the OS, you can't unplug it from your computer or it will crash. Symbiosis.

I assume it will support giving names to labels for jumping? And maybe stuff like this?:
$$:
;...code...
jr $B
;...code...
jr $F
;...code...

52-You can compile ASM code by hand faster than TASM
53-You have the cracked RSA keys for all TI calcs backed up in several places on your computer
54-If someone says "What's up?" you say "25"
55-You've sold a calc on ebay because you left the LCD in test mode for too long
56-You've bought a calc on ebay with a broken LCD
57-You have networked several calc's together to compute fractals faster
