Re: TI-H: 92+ or HP 48GX




(sorry for not clipping some)  I use my 92 for the first times this year
in Chemistry Lab.  We were supposed to do a rough graph to show the
teacher we didn't make it all the way to college and not know how to make
a graph.  I just plugged it in and had a nice sized graph.  Not 'dissin
on my ti-82, but the screen on the 92 is more impressive to a teacher the
first day in class.

Remember: Size is everything when pulling it out in class for the first
time.  Think big.  Think 92.
