IMHO I would go with the 84+ because it's the most widely used calc. With the FX-9850G there are some games being made every now and then but the community is much smaller so you wouldn't get as much support as you would get over here with TI.

Btw if you choose the Casio calc are you still planning to stay around Omnimaga? ???

No >:D I'm just kidding, I'll stay whatever calc I'll have. But yesterday I had a chat with my father, and suprisingly he knows TI-83, TI-85, TI-86, and even TI-71!! :o And when I told him about the 2nd hand TI-84+SE, he said that he would try to do something about it... But weren't colored plastic things to put on the 84+SE given with the calc?? the guy who sell it doesn't talk about them on his announce.....

You don't need them...

My father has a super calculator, very old, but super, it does lots of things! He is a civil engineer, so, he really needs it

Do you mean colored plastic things as the faceplates? I don't think they come with it. They're not necessary either. Also sometimes the cover is missing as well, but if you protect your calc well you should be fine.

From what I've seen, most of those games have to be manually input into your calc too :P

Woops I meant 9860G, not 9850G. With the 9850G you can link your calc, but good luck getting it detected. I never managed to succeed. With the 9860G it's easier.

Sell them... But it's value is uncountable, it's not worth money, it's like love, it can't be sold!

I recommend getting it as Christmas present, you can wait 22 days for it, can't you?

I'm sorry for you, really sorry.

Both are and have divorced work, since divorced is a verb but also a noun :P

If he didn't give you presents, you deserve:
1. Prizm
2. 84+S.E.
3. 89 Titanium
4. 2 Nspires (since the nspire doesn't really worth a lot)

EDIT: 1000th post?

The nspire IS worth a lot (compared to the 83+ series). It's TI-OS that's not worth much.

Two Ndless-Ready NSpires, then!
