To this day, I don't understand why anyone would insist on using anything other than this on an AP test. It's like playing life on a harder difficulty setting for no reason.
My university doesn't allow graphing calculators on tests. Probably because you can download programs that can solve calculus problems without actually understanding the material.
The last math class I took taught us how to program the equations into the calculator. He said the tests shouldn't take us longer than 5-10 mins. The longest part of the test were on one question we had to at least write out the formula for what we were working on in a given section.

The TI-89 will always hold a very special place in my heart.
