True, but I guess I am bit naive in this thinking, but I assume a
significant number of people eventually take calculus, whether at the
high school or community college or university level or what. So while
the 85 is more expensive and has features that algebra students might
not need, wouldn't it be better to just buy the 85 for the long-term?
(Or nowadays, I guess the 89...)
But I guess enough don't that they're sufficient for a target audience.
Sigh.
