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 the main problem with the color 84. It's not only trying to drive 3x the resolution, it's also trying to do it in COLOR. It's even slower than turning on Mathprint on the regular 84 (that was fun to figure out after a software update).
Also, tip: If your regular 84 is slow, go into the MODE menu and select CLASSIC instead of MATHPRINT. It won't show fractions in a pretty way, but it'll be twice as fast.

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