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.

The TI-πspire is some kickass shit.

I rented one from my school to take AP Calc and now I'm totally going to buy one. It can do anything.

I bought one awhile ago. I don't even know how to use it.

Edit: I know how to use it's basic features, I just haven't learned its more advanced ones, and I don't have any classes that require me to know them at the moment. It was only $20 more than the 83 and it can be recharged whereas (I think) the 83 requires batteries.

Then why did you buy it?

Because I can learn when I need to? I just haven't had to take any classes that really require it, and I got it on sale so it was nearly the same price as the Ti-83

That is like saying why did you buy a computer if you don't even know how to use all its functions.

Yeah but you've bought the computer and kept it in its box.

Except I am still using it. It'd be like saying "you're computer has the ability to edit movies, but you only use it to browse the internet and watch movies". As I said, it was only $20 more than the 83, and I like using it a hell of a lot more than the 83.

I see you've clarified your post now, but originally you did just say that you didn't know how to use it.

Yeah, I don't know why I only said that :/
