Re: TI-92 vs TI-85



Hello.  Having tried both, here's my opinion.  Note, I'm not an expert on
either of these, in fact, for the last 5+ years, I've been using a standard
scientific calc, none of this graphics/solver stuff.


Anyhow, I am/was really impressed with the ti-92.  Only thing that bothered
me, and bothered me enough to return it and get a ti-85 (after trying an
HP48gx) was the rather crappy display.  Seems the angle on it is wrong, or the
clear cover should have been a satin finish rather than glossy.  Whatever the
reason, I find it difficult to read.  Seems its either too light, or when I
adjust the brightness to darken it, is seems like the background gets too
dark, and the text is still hard to see.  Mind you, I don't wear glasses, or
am blind - the display on the ti-83/85 is just fine to read.


I'd buy it again in a heartbeat if they fixed, or I could do something about
that problem.
