Gee, Josh, last time I checked, Hp-48GX's weren't THAT expensive;)
Seriously, even the weak programmability of the Ti-8X series is more
than enough for undergrad engineering courses, where a programable calc
is mostly useful for killing large stacks of redundant number crunching
problems. I was more than able to get my B.S. with an Hp-41CV
(basically a Ti-85 without graphing and symbolic calculus).
To the original poster, save your bucks for the girls you will soon be
attracting when then learnyou are going to be an engineer...
