50+ without shipping, and bidding, so probably even more.
EDIT: Oh, the titanium, 70+ IIRC

I can't imagine using two calcs at the same time during a test... one should be fine. As to whether or not you should get one with a CAS, I don't know.
It would be funny if at a math test, a student had about 20 TI calcs on his school desktop. ;D

Also over Canada, most calcs found on EBay are sold from American sellers and they usually range from $0.01 to $35, but shipping ranges from $40-60 and takes 3-4 weeks.

O.O You would take up all the time choosing which one to use them and there was no time left to actually solve the problems XD

Mhmm, the last few posts suddenly changed my mind more to a 89, lol
And no, I don' have a silverlink.
EDIT: I got now a TI 89 for $52 including shipping :D
Very nice Sorunome! ^^ It's probably the better decision since that is what your class recommends anyways. :)

Thanks to its USB port, the 89T is clearly better than the other TI-68k models.

Well, my parents just told me that they would buy for the calc, so I got a 89 for $0 :P

I would still like one like that, but I haven't seena great deal yet.
And usb is lovely. Only last year I bough a TI-83+SE with a silverlink, which made my life a lot better. Before that I only had serial, and most of the computers here didn't support that. The only problem is that TI-Connect doesn't work well on mac os x for some reason, which requires me always to use another OS. But perhaps I should poke Jim to install TILP on it.

I routinely have 3 graphing calcs on my desk at school.
Anyway, nice choice! Hope you like your free-ish calc

Yeah it's annoying. However an updated version will come soon (with the release of the whole 84C things and all)

Will the new version only be for the 84PCSE? What would be nice is if they increased compatibility with the older calcs now that TI-Graph Link is no longer hosted on their server (notice how the TI-Planet links are no longer working).
