Re: question about the 86 and the 89
The TI-89 and TI-86 look very much alike and one could be easily fooled.
They are both black in color and have the same shape on the outside.
The covers are interchangeable. The back sides are almost the same as well.
If a student wanted to "fake it" it would not be hard. All it takes is a
few dabs paint to make the TI-89 appear as a TI-86.
Good Luck
