Re: Have you (or are you going to) buy/bought a new TI graphing calculator for going back to school?

Who here bought their calculator off of ebay? I did, and what a deal it was! A normal 86 costs, what, $160? And I got my new, perfect condition, in the package 86 for $81! Now what a deal was that? Although, I have recently discovered odds are that my 86 was stolen, then sold to me. But, like I give a damn! I might try to buy an 89 for $100 soon.

I got my 89 of ebay for around 80 bucks. It wasn't NIB, but I didn't really care as long as it worked.

considering i have 9 different graphing calculators to choose from including a 92-Plus, i think i'm okay as of right now for school. Although I'm working to get a Casio 9970G, Sharp EL-9600, HP 49G, TI-89 and TI-86 because I collect them. This could take a while. :)

I commend you on your collection. My school rents TI, HP, and Casio graphing calculators for like $20 a semester. They also sell them for like $20 a month, but they make a killing on tech support. I go to a school with hicks running amuck. Most of them don't know the differece between a TI and a HP - they are just letters to them. So my school has a group of students, I'm in it, that helps students who don't know jack about their calculator, or computer for that matter, learn about the "finer" points of "Electric Things". Your collection could help you start your own Calc Help group, the pay is great too!

Tell me how it goes. If you can get integrated with your school you'll have a lot more support. Teacher advisor, a fund from the school, stuff like that.

Is there a website for hp-calc games? If so, then what is it.

Because, even though they use smaller screen and a slower (4 Mhz) chip, the software on HPs is superior to that of TI.

Eric Rechlin, the head of hpcalc.org, gets invited to conferences and seminars on calculators and mathematics because of all the work he does. He gets free hardware and is given much support from the company.

I think TI calculators are the best except for that they don't have color screens. If you disagree, find another quiet corner of the universe. This one is already too crowded

Actually, hp is NOT crap (despite popular belief in the TI world). They are harder to use, but they're good solid calculators. Even by looking at the screenshots for games on hpcalc.org, the overall quality of the games is BETTER than here on ticalc.org (that's an opinion, no flames please). well that's all I had to say. g-ya

It's not the calculator itself that defines the graphics, but the pictures the people use in their games. Unless hp calculators enhance the images automatically, I seriously doubt you can get higher quality games.

Hey hey, wait a min... In your calc info, it says you own three calculators... Somethings fishy, and it's either you or my underwear, and it's probably you. It says you own a Ti-80, a Ti-85, and a Ti-86! Why would you lie about something like that?

it says that because this is a TI graphic calculator website, and the info page only allows for TI graphic calcs. there's not an option to say that you own an HP or a Casio.
