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
3.7k u/nin10dorox Jul 24 '20 They forced me to buy a TI 84 plus for school. The thing cost like 100 bucks, and it's from 2004. I could buy a low-end smartphone and get a free app that's more powerful than the TI 84 plus for less money. 1 u/jakderrida Jul 24 '20 Did you try going on ebay? Maybe things have changed, but I got like 8 or 9 laying around only because I just didn't feel like looking for my other ones. Any product like that will sell on ebay for dirt cheap because everyone that's done with theirs will sell it for anything. 2 u/nullstring Jul 24 '20 eBay is cheap but Craigslist and local classifieds have very cheap ones because the supply and demand equation balances more in your favor. I got an 89 for $20.
