And, yes, newbies, it DOES hurt.

<Laughs>

Ever been bitten by a graphing calc? IT HURTS!....

:-)

<More laughter>

I'd buy a new calculator if I had the money. ;-)

By "new," could you mean something like "modifying the calculator to use extra memory?" The extra memory could be new...

i answered no i don't have money but there isn't really anything better than 89t w00t

What about the V200?

the only real difference is the screen size

Me: OMFG! teh v200 is teh pwnz0rz!
Parents: We just bought you an 83SE two years ago!
Me: So?
Parents: You don't need another calculator.
Me: :(

In other words, nope.

You can still relish in the fact that you have a "collector's" calculator since they don't sell 83SE's anymore...

Its kinda like cars....

(I love my 83SE :)

83SE's are sold in many places north of the border, eh?

120d *sigh*... :-/

Yeah, parents don't even know the difference between an 81 and an 89.

Mine do. My dad has a collection of calculators (& my mom at least knows that a TI-81 is blue while the rest are black, although I know that was not the intent).

Wow, I wish my dad was like yours.

What kinds? All TI or some HPs? Collecting calcs is cool!!

Just TIs so far. He has an old HP from college, but he did not "collect" it for that reason. I personally have no HPs either. On the other hand, I have a slide rule...it tends to confuse people if they ask me a math problem & I pull it out. :)

I'm not buying one this year. My 83+ and my 89ti are fine this year. Next year, though, I will buy an 84+se. It supposed to be useful for chemistry so I'll buy one, and if its not, oh well I still got a new calc.
