JcCorp Probe Posted: 11 Dec 2004 14:50 GMT Total Posts: Edit | I like the 89. I have a T, but it isn't quite as good as the classic, because it has a bunch of extra junk. The grayscale graphics, huge memory, and nearly limitless potential really outshine the complexity.
The 83 series of calcs are really the weakest of all. The 84+ is... rather ugly to me. |

And if I feel like throwing it across the room, anything else. |
Morgan Ultralisk Posted: 11 Dec 2004 17:15 GMT Total Posts: 321 | If I had an 84+SE, 86, and 89 right in front of me. I would take the 86 and sell the 89 on ebay for the $$. Then take a sledge hammer to the brand new 84+SE and sell what is ever left on ebay :-) |

And I'm not sure anyone likes the v200 the best, because it's more of (at least how I look of it) a handheld organizer that happens to do calculations as well. |

I liked grayscale on the 86 but that's about it, I always hated the ugly and annoying interface seen on 85/86. v200 is good but somewhat large to carry around so that's why I prefer 89. 89T and 84 series are just plain ugly, no offence anyone. 83/+/SE are nice but they can't beat 89 which has lots of ram, hi-res screen and faster proc, not to mention decent grayscale. That's about it for me.

spiral Wraith Posted: 12 Dec 2004 02:00 GMT Total Posts: 958 | My favorite calculator is my computer. 2^27 more colors, nearly 100x the seolution. maybe 1000 the ram. Also have at least 20000x the storage. And it has internet. It's not that good of a calculator though. |
korkow Ultralisk Posted: 12 Dec 2004 14:04 GMT Total Posts: 465 | Yup, they can do almost everything except for graphing! |
JcCorp Probe Posted: 12 Dec 2004 14:21 GMT Total Posts: Edit | wrong. I've seen comp stuff that makes graphs. |

And remember, the TI calculators come with math software as their OS, and windows compys have that native calculator. :-/ |

LOL! That's great! Unless you need a CAS for something, then you're kind of stuck with the 89 family. |
Morgan Ultralisk Posted: 14 Dec 2004 01:38 GMT Total Posts: 321 | Well, I always keep my V200 in my back pocket! ;-) |
Ray Kremer Ultralisk Posted: 14 Dec 2004 13:58 GMT Total Posts: 310 | At least you can FIT a V200 in a pocket. Back in the day there was only the 92, or as I like to call it, the brick. :P |
Morgan Ultralisk Posted: 15 Dec 2004 00:52 GMT Total Posts: 321 | lol! The next time I see one of those or a 92+ I gots to see if it will fit! I do have some pretty big jean pockets. |
