I am having trouble seeing the difference... you get more memory(TI83/SE has enough i think), a clock(wear a watch, and extra programs(TI83 has everything ive ever needed) so am i right or have a failed to find something really good...

Well, you forgot the USB link. But in my opinion, if you already have a 83+ then I wouldn't bother getting an 84, unless you find it relatively inexpensive.

Some think the 84+ is uglier. I do.

The 84 is faster, so it dosn't crash while playing certain games.

How would having a faster processor cause it not to crash?

It actually runs the same speed as the 83+SE...

Huh, that's an interesting new avatar, TI Freak. Though, could you have scaled it a little better? I know a few techniques to get the scaling nice...

I think that if you have the extra money, get the nicest one. Don't worry if you can only afford a black 83+, it isn't too different, but I can see that it would be nice to play some of the silver-only games.

I'm glad that you noticed! :)

Could you explain? I tried a bunch of different settings, though I couldn't get it quite right...

Trust me. It's much better. The buttons feel better when you press them. It is much faster in BASIC programs. It has so much more memory it is crazy! I never use the clock but it is a cool feature to have. I think it is a good purchase for me.
