Re: Should I exchange my TI-82 for a TI-85?
Definitely trade! The TI-85 has so much more than the TI-82, but the TI-82
only has a few features the TI-85 doesn't, such as a table and multiple
last entries. It is true that the TI-82 is newer, but the TI-85 has a lot
more features, such as advanced matrix and vector math, much better
calculus, higher resolution screen, unit conversion, multiple number bases,
variables can be named, no limit to number of variables, a catalog, a
custom menu, the ability to store strings, physical constants, polynomial
solver, simultaneous equation solver, bit manipulation functions, equation
variables so you don't have to write a program for a formula, and many
others I've forgotten.
The TI-85 has a different interface than the TI-82 and will feel different,
but once you learn it, I can almost guarantee you won't be disappointed.

IMHO, no. The 82 is a slightly newer and , more refined calc. Other than
expansion devices, the 82 is as well supported as the 85. Both are
"outdated," so it is like trading your Pacer for a Gremlin. (no slams
intended.) If there was an 83 or 86 offered, go for it. The only
benefit I can see is the SPinTerface.
