6th grade / Pre-Algebra: Bought a TI-82 for $60.00 at a going out of business sale, CrASH RuLES!
7th grade / Algebra I: Still got that 82, yearning for the TI-92...
8th grade / Geometry: Yes! TI-92! Got Plus module when I realized Fargo was dead.
9th grade / Algebra II+Trig: Sold TI-92+, bought TI-89. Still got my TI-82 even though it's in a state of disrepair (I never finished adding a memory chip to it, oh well... Until they come out with a killer app for it, I probably won't fix it.) Only thing that sucks is now everyone has a TI-83 Plus, which doesn't even have TETRIS so I have no one to play link games against. Pity me =(

oh poor baby, let's whine about how we got an insanely powerful calculator about 6 years before you needed it. Then got one that you would only need in 4 years.

hey, i'm only 11 in 6th grade and I have an 82, an 86 and am getting a 92+ next week, dammit!

and i am the ultimate basic programmer... and if u have ANY problems with that then I'll come over and wipe that smile off your face with this ultimate TI-2000+, the most powerful calculator in the world! it has a 9000x9000 resolution full color backlit screen, 1,000,000,000,000K of memory, has 3D graphing (with rotations), can execute up to 3,000,000,000,000,000 operations in 1 nanosecond, has a built in infared port device that is capable of transmitting waves 400 yards, computer keyboard, built in CD drive, disk drive, DVD player, casette player, flash upgradable technology, internet (includes email) AND suround sound high defintion dolby speakers for only 349.99 at oyur local office retail store!!!!!!
.....let me catch my breath here.....
thank you!

ok...someone went a little crazy with the '0' button.

Actually, TI's above 1000 can only add, subtract, multiply and divide, occasionally also have square root keys.

...and print you out a receipt.

T,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo bad you can't use it on an SAT!

(This is a joke, I do not mean there is a 2000+)

Any ideas why College Board won't allow calcs with a QWERTY keyboard on the SAT and PSAT?

I mean, you dish out around $275 for a state-of-the-art TI-92+, turn around, and find out you need to dish out around another $100 for a TI-8x? PSAT is in 10 days, and I've got to round up money for a new calc, just because my current calc has a QWERTY keyboard. Who cares what kind of keyboard your calc has? What's the difference anyway?

I don't mean to be disrespectful to College Board, cause they do a great job on the testing. It just seems really silly, that's all.

They don't want you typing in the questions and letting a friend use your calc.

Does anyone else think that this kid is going to end up like the next Doctor Evil or somethin?

well the reson college is tied with juniors and seniors is because all 4 years are grouped into 1
i want to see how (if it does) drops towards senior year in college

Us Junors R SmaT! We CICK BUT! GOO Junors! Wo-Hew! Yippe-Skippy! Ahh the hell with it, I don't wish to stereotype all of us juniors with being stupid. What is the point of this survey anyhow? They don't use banners on this site, so why do they need to know what audience they have?

Maybe they just want to know.

Interestingly, I remember TI-Files conducting a similar survey months ago. High schoolers won :)

The last time I checked this survey, college students 0wned with more than 23% of the vote. (I happen to be in that group. ;)

screw you all! FROSH RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

some things just shouldn't have a comment section. There is nothing productive you can say to this.

"Seniors Rule", hey now I'm cool.......

Even though we're not in first, freshmen rule!
Play Leisure Suit Larry and Grand Theft Auto for the 83 to be as cool as me!

I really hope you didn't mean to rhyme that!

Hang in there sophomores! We can win this yet!

Just an off the wall comment---

O melhor time de brasil tem que ser Vasco. Alguem quer descutir??? Flamengo chupa coco. By the way sophomores in college rule. Se-ferra students of high school!!!!!

GO COLLEGE

Applachian State University Boone, NC USA

You go to App state? I was there over the summer with the Summer Ventures program. Nice campus, too many hills. And I think it's the only place I've been to that the food is actually... halfway... somewhat... decent?

I spent all my time in the CAP building, Electronics Lab on the second floor. You taking any classes around there?
