I voted 1, but 0 would have been better.

If I can afford it, I am going to buy a HP 49G+

Please don't flame me!

It depends on what you mean by flame...
,khjfdj.cn,sjkhcfbkj;sd! !!! fhsdjklghk!!!!!!!???! jldshgkjd!!!!!!!???!?!?!!?!!!!!

I won't buy any. My old 89 is and always will be (until the end of 2005) my dearest calculator.

*huge gasp*

...

Oh well, the HP-49G+ is a good calculator. I just like TI's interface better. It's what I'm used to.

Exactly the opposite here. Both the 49g+ and the 89 are good calculators (I own both, but plan to sell my 89), but I prefer the 49g+ UI. I like the idea of soft-menus (such as those found on the 85 series) and their forms interface, as well as RPN mode.

I also love RPN mode...I once started using my 89 thinking it was RPN only to get a ton of numbers in history and lots of errors! I know you can get a program to do RPN on the 89, but the features are limited. I also like Equation writer on the 49g+. I agree that the 49g+ is a bit tougher to get used to and learn, and there are a few things that I don't like (such as having to *HOLD* the shift key to get into Y= menu in RPN mode) but overall it's a great calculator. </off_topic_rant>

Maybe my English is not too good, but that sounded a lot like:

Please flame me!
Please don't flame me!

;)

Looks like were're going to have to flame him, take a break, and flame him again (just for kicks). :^)

You have to escape everyone of the exclamation marks (bangs?) for it to work correctly.

I hope to buy a TI-89 Platinum sometime this year, but I'm not sure if I will be able to afford one! I will try though.

Titanium, you mean? :)
Yeah, I can't get one till I finish 8th grade though.

I already have the most advanced calculator...

The TI-81, right?

It must be the 81. Everyone knows that the v200 isn't the most powerful, only the most expensive. ;-)

No, the 86. ;-)

No, the TI-30X...

Those pwn! No batteries!!!!!

Actually, they DO have batteries. Even the TI-30XIIS has a battery in it. Just cover the solar panel and you'll notice it won't turn off.

Yes, but you don't have to buy new batteries every 2 months or so like with the 83's and 89's and such.

So they still have batteries.....just because they don't wear out very quickly doesn't mean that aren't there.

I used the same $1.50 Kodak batteries for my 83+ for 7 months. And I use it about everyday... For math of course.

Yeah, they'll last a long time on the graphers if you don't run asm on them.

Yea... but that's like 50% of what I run. Other times I'm testin one of my programs or something, but mostly I'm playin games or apps. :)

I use NiMH recharchable AAA batteries for my TI-83 Plus. Works perfect!

HMM heres an idea, rechargable batts. so it costs more for the charger and the batteries. but think about it. $30 for a charger, $8 for batteries, and you can charge them up to 1000 times b4 they dont work anymore, and personally they last longer.

I'm buying one right now!!!

You're joking!

What!? The TI-81 isn't the 1337est calculator in the world? Of course it is! It's TI's first graphing calculator, why shouldn't it be the most advanced? (Yes, I am joking. :-P)

No, the TI-58.

indeed, nothing goes above a good old counting frame.
(I presume you are talking about something like that?)
