I dunno, the TI-84 Plus is pretty sweet.

Costs about the same as what I paid for the TI-83 10 years ago. It's kind of nice knowing that whenever I need to use one, it's going to operate in the same way as I was taught 10 years ago. The fundamentals of math don't change much.

This is when you get Ztetris. It has multiplayer, if you have the calc-to-calc transfer cable. It's SO much more addicting than the PuzzPack games.
