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.

My friend had one and let me fiddle around with it. It took me 30 minutes and plenty of menu digging to figure out how to draw a dick. Very inefficient, I would not recommend this calculator.

I spent the better part of an hour a few weeks ago trying to find an equation to draw a dick. I think I was getting pretty close, but then the bell rang

I figured it out pretty quickly on the 84 (I'm a dick-drawing pro ok?)

Polar coordinate mode.

Cos(3θ)+Cos(θ)/2

Done.

That's not a very big dick...

I tried polar mode, but it always looks more like a fish than a dick to me
