TI-83 Plus for $89.99
TI-89 for $139.99 (Best Buy B&M is the same price)

Staples is quoting $140 for the ti89 as of yesterday as well.

You Americans are all nuts! they don't even allow us to use programable calculators here in Canada, eh?

you'll soon find out that it's all about Maple and Matlab

I've been trying to figure out Mathematica lately, but it seems pretty hard to get used to. Are those programs easier to use?

i was trying out maple8 the other day and it was not a pretty site. it lasted on my computer for less than 3 minutes. maybe if i actually needed it i would put a little more effort into figuring out htf to use it.

It's tough to get used to at first, but once you're familiar with it, you'll be using it for all kinds of things.
