IMHO, it's 2004 hands down.  The 84 seems to have been the one calc that's come the furthest, silver and normal, after you consider things like msd8x and jailbreaking a PS3.
83 pluses aren't that bad, they just don't seem to have enough mem and TI stopped making the silver editions.

So, 84 ftw ;D

Well the 83+ were pretty much the most popular calc back then, but eventually the 84+ took over. Beforehand people went with the 83+ since they had less money but the prices didn't inflate over time (despite remaining high) so now people don't mind as much buying the 84+ or SE.

Btw shouldn't this be under general calc discussion and news?

2003.

Why?

To put it simply, 1337 (calculators) +  666 = 2003, the year when TI was at its most 1337.
