Ok, let me get this straight. MP2K is $1000, 86 is $119 (at local
office max). I'm sure that a mp2k's processor is faster than a 86 and
I'm sure that someone MIGHT have a better calc. program for the mp2k
then the ti-os for 86, but I'd rather have my 86 stolen than have a
mp2k stolen. not to mention that for the price of a mp2k I could get
a pentium 90-133mhz laptop (though, I doubt any teacher would let
either the mp2k or the laptop into the classroom, any teacher in
highschool that is (in my area))
If I got ANY pda device it'd be a PALMPILOT PRO with 1mb ram; those
are the best.
