Knowing my memory, I'll lose it and have to get another one, so it's really not a bad thing that zero isn't an option...I'll probably have to get one.

All of them. And not only the graphing calcs.

That wouldn't be a very interesting poll, (almost) everybody would agree with Sebastian. I know I would :D

That's true, I'd like to have them all just for the sake of having them all. But in a realistic sense, I only really need my TI-89.

But if I were to choose one calculator to get right now, it would be the TI-84+SE. Why? Just because it's the top of the z80 line. I already have the calculator at the top of the 68k line (or close enough), it would be cool to do the same for the z80. (Unless you consider my TI-82 the best z80 calc ;)) However... my TI-89 has HW 1. That's a bit limiting, yet a bit helpful, for the older games.

Though recently, I've used my calculators almost strictly for math and storing data/notes. I'd put more games on it, but 1) I'd have to delete a lot of files (Backup time!), 2) I don't want it to crash, and 3) I need my battery power for Math and Physics.

Where's the opening tag? It saves innocent people from reading the main part of your post. ;^)

Shh! That's the point! They fall into the trap of my ramble! Don't tell anyone...

But yeah, there were a lot of things that I could have said in that post, so I decided to merge them all together in a semi-disorganized fashion.

Not to be picky or anything, but the 68k line is pretty small, so the top is an 89T, but the bottom would be your HW1 89. Even though it is close enough in performance to the top, its really not close to the top at all in terms of placement. Of course a HW1 89 is cool. I would like one of the higher level z80s, because my regular 83 is limited compared to an 83+ or higher.

I always thought the V400 was. Or maybe it was the V450? :^)

89T and v200 are equal, except keyboard layout and screen size.

the 68k line is verry close to the same because all of the calcs can run OS's that are very similer so the only diffrences are processor speed, memory, keybord, and screen size. wich don't matter that much.

the V200 and 92 are not aloud on the SATs and the AP exams so I don't know if teachers would alow them efectively making them no toys that cost ~$200(I think)

They're not "aloud" on the tests and teachers don't "alow" them? Man, you need a pocket *dictionary* not a calculator...I'm sorry, but I'm a nutcase when it comes to bad spelling. It's "allowed" and "allow"

I would argue that the 89 (HW2 of course) is better than the other 68k calcs. Although the 92+ and voyage 200 have bigger screens, they are harder to fit in your pocket and also cannot be used on a lot of tests. The 89 at least LOOKS like an 83+ from far away to the unsuspecting teachers....

Oh, and then...the 89TI is opviously better than the 89 HW2...but my point was that even the 89 was better than the 92+ and V200

Just tell them it's an 83+ 89 edition.
BTW, it says 'gullible' on the ceiling.
