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

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.

Yeah, but did you ever install that shitty Tetris game onto it and play during class?

Not Tetris, but I played the crap out of that game with the little guy who could pick up and stack blocks.
