    Yup!

    Back in the eighties, TI made a pocket computer with a qwerty keyboard and these weird shaped memory cartridges. BASIC was the default language for them, though you could get a cartridge that allowed Pascal instead.

    I got one after I did a summer course at a local college between freshman and sophomore years. It was kinda useless for anything much because the screen was a single line lol. But I set up a little rng program on it for d&d where I could press a given key and it would roll preset dice combos. Expensive toy, basically (pun intended)
