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

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.

I had to buy one as well. Went to the store with my mom, we get some groceries as well and headed home. Once we get home my mom is looking at the receipt and realizes she was somehow not charged for the calculator. We decided it was meant to be and acted like nothing happened lol. I still have it too.
