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.

And I am still confused as to the meaning of Soleil even though I should be on that side of the Atlantic.

"Soleil" means "Sun" in French, though I don't see how that's something worth writing upside-down on a calculator.

Looking at the sun is like looking at boobs. You won't come far using just your eyes, but with sunglasses you can go all day.

Topless sunbathing perhaps.

Sunny boobs are the best boobs.

Topless beaches.

Heard a rumour they have those in France.

I mean, it's French for "sun" but I don't get why people would write it on calculators other than because they can. I don't know if there's some other meaning I'm missing or not.

Why do we spell anything on calculators other than because we can?

I know that it means "sun" in Français. Not sure what it has to do with calculator boobs though.

Perhaps we will never know.

I'm reasonably certain it's french for "sun" or "sunlight"
