They're all right.

I have a TI-89. I don't remember how to use it for Stats, since I haven't done that in like two years, and now I need to know.

I love my graphing calculator. It does everything! It can add, it graphs, it does derivatives and programmed functions!

I was very happy that all of the math tests in highschool in university and highschool were written so a graphing calculator would be useless. :love:

Nah, those things are expensive. It's fun to hit "010101010101" 10000 times then delete it all. Hello Neo :D

I absolutely love scientific calculators though and not those dumb single line/screen ones.

I would get one but my parents think its too expensive for just a calculator. :( They look very complicated too, but thats okay I'd figure out how to use it.

I need no calculator to pwn math class.

Oh, it's much much more than a simple calculator! They are sooo expensive, though x.x

My mom agreed to get me one because she thought I'd need it for college in a couple of years x.x

I have to get one of them soon :/

My brother's used to have really addicting puzzle games.... It was funny because I'd always ask to use it :D

I like it.

I have a TI-89, and even though I'm no longer allowed to use it in the papers which I take, I like it a lot. I made a mini Street Fighter game back in maths class in highschool. It was kind of superseded by the <a href="http://www.spacetime.us/pocketpc.htm">totally kickin' rad calculator program</a> I found for my phone though. :p

I also made little programs to solve all and everything for me. I recall making specific programs for specific worksheets.

There was something powerful in having your calculator ask you,
"What is unknown blah; are there blah;etc.."
And then having it spit out an answer was stupidly fun to watch.

The Quad was single-handedly slain by 8th grade thanks to the graphing calculator I stole. I think it was a TI-83 Plus or something similiar.

I'm too old-school for one >=( Only meagre scientific calculators for me. Nowadays, you get kids solving quadratic equations with calculators, and I find it repulsive. REPULSIVE. People factorising into quadratics using calculators. It gives me heartburn. I didn't even know you could until a few months ago :-(

I just have the ti-83 my mom used when she went to college a few years ago and I have to solve equations with multiple roots by graphing or matrices because poly-simultaneous root finder refuses to install on it :(

When my friend had me learn calculus some time ago we went through sketching graphs. Graphing calculations just shows whether your graph sketching skills is teh win. In other words you don't need it.

Incidentally if you can't afford a graphing calculamalator just download microsoft power toys.
