Re: New Topic--Calculator resale
I'm finding (so far that is :) that reselling calculators has been
unnecessary...I'm the oldest of four kids, and my next-oldest brother is
just 11 months behind me (and also in honors math). After Algebra 3-4 I
discovered that my good old 83 wasn't enough anymore, and my brother needed
a calc for his Algebra 3-4 class, so I got an 86 (well, technically, my
parents got it for me :). Next year he'll be getting an 86 too and that 83
will wait until our sister gets smart enough to use it. I doubt I'll
upgrade from my 86 anytime soon, though...maybe in college...
