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.
There are probably 84 silvers all over ebay, for even cheaper than $53 anyway

With the 9860G it's easier.Tiny correction: most Casio calcs are PITA to link with the PC, but we are talking 9860G SD here. The last two letters make it very different affair...P.S. I really hate that all calculator-producing firms like to confuse everyone with suffixes. Think TI-83 vs TI-83+SE and TI-84+SE. TI-83 is quite different from TI-83 Plus (no flash and so no apps) but TI-83+SE and TI-84+SE are almost identical (the faceplate is cool but mostly useless addition, USB is also not very useful unless you own a PS3). The same with HP: compare HP-48G, HP-48gII, HP-49G, HP-49G+ and HP-50. HP-48G and HP-49G are very close to each other and the same is true for HP-48gII, HP-49G+ and HP-50, but HP-48G and HP-48gII are quite different and HP-49G and HP49-G+ are totally different too!

Tr1p1ea got a 84+ for $20 a few years ago, but the LCD was broken. The only calcs I can get from Canada under $40 shipping included (most sellers won't ship outside USA because they think USA is the only existing part of the world ) are TI-81s, TI-82s, TI-85s and Casio FX-7000G
The TI-83+ hardware is worth about $0.10 I am pretty sure.

Granted, it is used, but there's a huge difference between 1.7 GHz and 6 Mhz.
It was also in reference to how greedy Texas Instrument is and the monopoly they have and the fact they could put better hardware in their calcs for not much higher in money.
If Casio Prizm ever becomes popular and that Casio FX-9860GII sales pick up, I am sure TI may need to reduce their prices and they would still make profits.
Well I personally found the Nspire to be pretty hard to use. I don't find the OS to be very user-friendly. On the 83+ it was so much easier to access stuff.I also didn't realize school books were written purposely to be used with TI calcs.
