Ha! I'm jewish!

Haha. I'm jewish too, and I get to celebrate both holidays :-) Anyway, I also got a TI-89 finally, since I'm taking calculus. Also got a graph-link.

I celebrate both holidays too. But I already have an 89 and a G-Link, so I do not want anything else.

It seems like many people are getting 89s...

I'm happy with my 83+. I don't need anything more...

AYE!

That's good that people are getting 89's cuz I'm making a very cool game for it!

I hope your game is as cool as your web page

^
Look at all the Re:'s
Anyways, I wanna to get an 89 soooooo badly!!! (My mom thinks I have too many calculators so she won't let me... I can't sell them! Nobody wants 'em.:( )

I will buy one of your caculators if you sell it for a decent price.

All your AYE are belong to us

89s are ultimate gaming and math calcs. Everyone should have an 89. Two is better. :)

How about having an 89 and two 83 plusses?

How about having a 81,two 82s, a 83, two 83+s, two 83+ SEs, a 86, and a 89? :)

How about selling the useless ones (81, 82, 83, 83+(not SE), 86) and getting some cash flow? :)

How bout forgetting all of the junky calcs and getting the portable holy grail of mathematics (TI-92 Plus) and a Palm Handheld?

I have cash flow and it's an addiction anyway...Like drugs, only without harmful effects. (Well that's debatable as my brain now operates in Z80 ASM most of the time). I can't part with a calc.

Then why don't you link your brain to the computer and reprogram your brain to work in HUMAN

thats because the 89s are acually useful, for math and programming. no more 16 pixals to a screen or z80 asm!

I will repeat myself:

I am happy with my 83+. I don't need anything more.

Good for you.

I am also Happy with my TI-89. it plays a much better game of tetris :P

Ok. That's wonderful. I don't really play games on my calculator. If I'm bored in math, I'll listen to my CD player. (Having said that, two player tetris is pretty fun though.)

I don't understand why people will "upgrade" to an 89 just because they can fit more/better games on it.

I might buy an 89 for more advanced math classes I will take in the future. But everything in my math so far I can either allready do on my 83+, or I can write a program to do it.

I got a Ti 83+. I'm really happy!

Depends how stupid(smart) you are.

He's probably so smart he doesn't NEED a powerful calculator :)

Anyway I just finished my college calc I class, and the few relevant programs I had made/loaded on my 83p didn't make up for the built-in functionality that my 89 gave me. I can still do the stuff without the calculator, but it did help me score better on the tests. Many people will never actually take higher math classes and so a TI-83p might be all they need (or currently need). Certainly no reason to bash it just because it's less powerful (if you want more games, I recomend you buy a game boy or something - hey, at least you get sound that way?). They all have a fairly developed built-in programming language, and although it might not be fast for games, it can still make some killer math apps.

Happy new year/Merry Christmas (even if you don't celebrate it)

I'm currently in calculus, and I use my 83+ SE...My 89 in fact sits home unused, except when I charge people to rent it out for tests, which is a nice way to make some extra money :) I have to agree though, the 89 does help students on tests. There's one kid who bought a 89 for the final and he had the highest score at my school, 446/450 points. I came in second with 441 of course :). What bothers me is that in the end, you don't learn much when you can just type a bunch of derivatives and integrals into your calculator. I've become quite an advocate of doing the math yourself, I suppose. The 89 is perfectly fine to check your work, but I don't think copying its answer can ever be justified properly. In the end, I'll be able to do the integral when I'm stranded on the island without batteries, and the calc copiers will be stuck.

My thoughts exactly Mr. Penguin, well, almost.
<flamebait>Though, I will get an HP 49G instead of a TI 89. Its CAS is better.</flamebait>

I want to get one before they disappear from stores.

I think it was only the R&D department that went down the tubes, so I think they will keep manufacturing them, just no NEW calculators to come from HP.

I am right in the middle with the 86 I bought w/ my christmas money.

So there!!

I got an 89! :-þ

I'm also Jewish. But I celebrate both holidays too. I didn't get anything TI related. But I want a green slide cover. (I wish my whole calc could be green.)

I got a graphlink,downloaded the software and then found out that ti connect doesn't work on windows xp
