Well, I have a TI-89 and a TI-92+, both presents so I didn't hafta pay a cent except for the 86 which I actually bought myself :) The TI-92+ kicks the 89's ass, but I went and overclocked the 89 and now it does all the math and shit SO much faster, which kinda pisses me off cuz the 92+ is easier to type the shit up on lol. And the greatest program ever, TICHESS, goes 166% faster on my 89 but the screen is SO DAMN SMALL! I love the 92+'s big screen but now it goes SOOOOO slow damn it. Guess I can't make up my mind, but before the 89 got overclocked, the 92+ beat the hell out of it.

Oh my GOD IT'S SKIPPY THE FLYING WONDER SQUIRREL! He's come to smite you out of this world of flying wonder coconuts!

Boy, I guess you get pretty bored waiting for another comment to reply to...

Great, she doesn''t have a life either!!!
Well, I actually guessed that too... you're just getting too predictable lady.

Heh Heh! I won't give you Jack Shit! He's a very close friend of mine!


(For all the sense that made)

Uh, you spelled his last name wrong. Look at the t-shirts in the Lighter Side or Things You Never Knew Existed...(but can't possibly live without!) catalogs. I haven't read that t-shirt in a while, but I believe his grandson's names are Horace, Dawg, and Byrd Schitt. Somewhere in his lineage is Givva and Taika. Whatever. LOL

Oh, sorry, I'll get it right next time. But you forgot his sister Kat Schitt. :)

And their crazy evangelist second cousin, The reverend holy Schitt

What about the obstinate uncle Don Key Schitt?

Who is Jack Schitt?

The lineage is finally revealed. Many people are at a loss for a response when someone says "You don't know Jack Schitt." Now you can intellectually handle the situation.

Jack is the only son of Awe Schitt and O. Schitt. Awe Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, married O. Schitt, the owner of Needeep N. Schitt, Inc. They had one son, Jack.

In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt, and the deeply religious couple produced 6 children: Holie Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Giva Schitt, Bull Schitt and twins Deap and Dip.

Against her parent's objections, Deap Schitt married Dumb Schitt, a high school dropout. However, after being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt divorced.

Noe Schitt later married Ted Sherlock, and because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was then known as Noe Schitt-Sherlock.

Meanwhile, Dip Schitt married Lotta Schitt and they produced a son of nervous disposition, Chicken Schitt.

Two of the other 6 children... Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt... were inseparable throughout childhood and subsequently married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony. The wedding announcement in the newspaper
announced the Schitt-Happens wedding. The Schitt-Happens children were Dawg, Byrd and Hoarse.

Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently returned from Italy with his new Italian bride Pisa, Schitt.

So now when someone says "You don't know Jack Schitt", you can correct them.

Yeah, it's not funny really.

Actually, that is funny...

hey, you got that e-mail too?
nifty

I was one of the lamers that started it :)

Why not another option for those of us in school?

My first calc (oh so long ago...now it's sitting in a drawer somewhere =) was a TI-30x. Perfectly fine for Pre-Algebra, Algrebra, and Geometry...

Then came Algebra 3-4. Graphinc calc was a prerequisite. So I got a TI-83. Used it throughout the class.

This year I am taking Pre-Calculus. Due to two factors - first being that my 11 month younger and on the same track I am brother needed a calc for his Alg3-4 class and second being that Pre-Calc is much nicer with somewhat more powerful of a calculator than an 83, I got a TI-86.

Now, another dilemma; next year I am moving on to Calculus. Chances are my brother is going to want an 86. So, do I get an 89 and give him the 86, or just have two 86's? (BTW, if you wonder why in the world someone would be so generous, our parents are paying for these =) Choices, choices...

Get the 89, definently. It's a lot better. It can solve almost any equation without help from a prog. It has over half a meg of RAM. The print is a lot easier to read, the programs are better, the list is endless. If your parents are paying for them, the price is no matter. That's really the only bad thing.

--meek

Get the 89, its the most worthwile money you'll ever spend, I got my 89 and I just LOOOVE it.

OK, I stand corrected....

Yesterday one of my friends borrowed an 89 from one of his friends who 'happens' to sell a lot of calculators for cheap (I question his 'sources' =) and brought it to math class, where we had a sub and a practice test on integrals to finish...

Let's just say that the test went REALLY fast and I LOVE, repeat LOVE, repeat again LOVE that 89!!!! Holy crap I have never seen a better piece of design and technology!! And not in that (IMO) hideously huge and ugly 92 case!!

Now, to convince my mom that I should get an 89 rather than my bro getting an 86...because if I bought an 89, well, I'd have less than $20 to my name =(

I would buy another TI calc on;y if it was a vast improvement over the current models. I own a TI-86 and TI-89 and in my mind they are the best TI calcs out there. I program mostly for the 86 but have recently began working in 89. But anyway the next calc would have to be tested better than the 89, so many problems, Hardware and AMS, but the next TI should be one with more RAM, Flash Apps, Geometry, and better power supply (AA's instead of AAA's) as well as a new chip, faster than the 68k.

kaizer_911

yes, this sounds like the perfect solution; have TI change chips instead of focusing on using a powerful one already...

doesn't the hp49g use a 4mhz saturn chip and still graph faster than the m68k calcs? It's what I've heard, at least.

whoops, that should read "... still graphs 3d faster than..."
