I used a TI-83 plus through high school (required calculator for upper level high school math classes). In college I used the 83 a little but I mostly use the TI-89 now.

I hate to be the 'get off my lawn' guy (lol) but this is not a good sign. and, what about the poorer kids in school who can't afford $40 for a calc? I worry that we don't tech THINKING anymore; but mostly just button pressin'. |
