Just out of curiosity, what is everyone's favorite calculator? Mine is the Ti-83+ because there are the most games for it and it has an archive. ;)
GO MIRAGE OS!
also, why is there a jump between 89 and 92. Where are the other calculators? I have never seen a Ti-91

The TI82 has the most RAM available to the user.
You know your hexadecimal output routine is broken when it displays the character 'G'.

I voted for the 89
Anything that can solve integrals mathematically, is a winner in my book. And like you said the 92 is so expensive.

I like my good old 83+, but i think the 84+ and Voyage 200 look awesome. Why isn't there a Voyage 200 option?

Reminds me of a fun little story. In middle school I discovered how one could run asm programs, so my friend and I sat there and typed random stuff in basic programs and ran it to see what would happen, and to cut this story short, I did something to the calc which caused it start draining batteries faster, but it also ran a few simple programs noticably faster than a well treated 83+.

The TI-86 is great too. It's definetely the best z80 calc.
D-oh! I can't choose!

you actually crashed your 81?!?! Wow, that's kind of impressive, if you consider that you cant do assembly on that thing.

It isn't fair to include regular ti83 with 83+, I wanted to choose regular but now 83+ get's points too, while it actually are 2 different calculators.

I think it might be possible to do assembly on the 81 if you install a switch to swap ram chips or something :)

I voted for the 81. Why, you ask? Because I started using TI calcs by programming in BASIC on the TI-81! :D

Why do you say the 83 is better than the 83+?
