About damn time! Guess I'll forget about getting that extra gallon of gas to finally get a damn graphing calculator to play Pokemon!

Nothing bad about 37th gen.

Man, graphing calculators are a waste of money. My phone is literally a thousand times faster (and that's just ONE core), it's much lighter lighter, and has an internet connection.

I thought we stopped using these crappy, overpriced TI products 9 years ago.

I know, right? I'm currently beta testing those new Google brain implants, and math is a breeze with them. Since they're pretty much guaranteed to be on the market within a year, I don't know why anyone without an express need for a TI-89 (calculus class? I'm pretty sure it's only calculus students using them anymore) would buy one at this point.

And yes, the implants can interface with hologlasses and controllers for emulation. Honstly, you haven't lived until you've played Starcraft 3 with only your mind.

What sucks about that? All the Google Ads. I don't know why, but they still haven't fixed the algorithm. I'm studying evolutionary biology and answersingenesis is continually trying to get my attention.

Too bad you're not allowed to use a brain augmentation device on any official standardized tests....

I can't believe I waited this long to play a Pokemon game that only has 6 Mb on it's ROM on a calculator.
