price, 165$ which is ridiculous for a device that costs them less than 20$ to build.

If only kids of today loved this more than their phones.

Very very warm nostalgic fuzzy feelings here

Does it run Doom?

The Python inclusion is fascinating to me. I, like many other kids in the US, did a lot of calculator programming with the TI-84 back in school. It definitely taught me the basics in a way that made my CS classes much easier. I'm jealous of the kids who now get to make that journey with Python instead of TI-Basic.

75” 4k OLED screens would have been unobtainable when I first used a TI.

10yrs ago they would have been 4 to 5 figures.

Now they are what? A couple hundred?

How in the world is a TI graphing calculator still $160? These 30yr old calculator chips apparently hold their value like gold…

You can claw my HP48 out of my cold, dead, hands.

I do have fond memories of my TI-82 (we couldn't afford the fancier 84 or 89). I wonder, though, after all these years did Texas Instruments corner the market and obtain an monopoly on allowed calculators for proctored tests or ... because it sure is a shame there's not competition here driving the cost of these things down and the features way up.

It's a shame that maths in American schools is equated with calculation. All you need to be a mathematician is a calculator!
