In Medway High School they want you to use 82's. I think actually if
your gonna buy a 83 for more features and a easier interface, you should
buy a 85. They cost about the same but the 85 is way better. (A 85 user
myself) If kids know how to use them in more sophiticated ways (like
hooking them up to a computer and transferring files) it is way better
especially with ZShell. (In case you don't know it is that little
program that lets you run programs that directly access the processor of
the calc, making them small and fast.
