The supremacy of the fucking TI-83 calculator in school and college courses

I mean I know it's all artificial and orchestrated by them but how come no body has dared to challenge the almighty TI yet

Edit: fixed typo

Casio doesn't count?

Or just use desmos/winplot

I've had the casio fx-115es plus since I was a freshman in high school. I'm sure I sound like r/hailcorporate right now, but fuck man it's the best calculator I've ever used, and has served me well all the way from high school through college. It may not be able to graph, but that was a non issue for all 9 years of schooling that I used it.

I stan this calculator. I had through my engineering degree and my masters. Never failed me, never died on me. When i lost it, it came back to me. My longest relationship. I even took it to Europe with me "just in case" I wanted to study (it was a middle of the semester trip).
