You can always click the same button to undo, you know ;)
I had no idea. Congratulations, you've earned the +1. :D

@Scout, DO IT. In b4 they stop making the 83/4 lines and they become collector's items. HOARD YOUR CALCULATORS!

@Scout: I could never discourage someone from getting a Z80. If it's a bargain it couldn't hurt. ;D

Updated my original listing here: http://ourl.ca/8935/173282 with newly acquired calcs. Personally, the TI-80 is my favorite of the new calcs. I've gotten because of it's super compact size.  ;D

It breaks faster and more easily, though <_< (twist it slightly or leave it under a pile of 5 calcs for a year and it's done)

Ive got 2 TI84+'s running 2.43. One is fine but the OS acts up sometimes. It seems mine has some unique problems every once in a great while.

My other one is fine but i inherited it from a friend who lost the both the slide case and the battery cover, and he burned a hole in the screen by leaving it running too long (something like 2 days).

@DJ: Did yours get broken? That would suck :/

In other news, I found out that the Ti-81 that I purchased has ROM version 1.8k on it. This means I could do ASM on it if i wanted to. ;D

I've seen a few unfortunate 83+es in my algebra ii class...afaict a bunch of pressure is put on she screen or something and the liquid crystal gets out and spreads all over the screen.  Near the middle it looks like a hole, but the rest of the screen somehow works.

On my 84, there's a small blotch on the screen, where the contrast is always a bit darker.  Most noticeable with the screen inverted (like, ClrDraw:DrawInv) and lower-than-normal contrast (where the number in the top-right is about 4), but fortunately no "holes" ;D

Is this "hole", a hole? Or is it something that looks like a ink-spot?Because we do havve something like that on our Ti-92+

Received my TI-84+ SE today. Unfortunately it was produced in the "P" plant so it is missing the extra ram. :(
But anyways, horray for having a working 15 mhz model once again!  :w00t:
