The TI-84 was where I really began to get excited with programming. Ended up learning how to build calculator apps for math and physics formulas and my teacher allowed me to use them during tests and exams since I had written out the code in a notebook to demonstrate I was the author. The solutions not only gave you the answer for a given variable in the equation, they also printed out each step to demonstrate it on paper.

Also, shout out to the Cybiko, you were a novel idea in the pre-iOS era.
