This drives me nuts. I am in grad school and had to go buy a TI-82 because my stats professor was convinced that a TI-81 was completely different than a TI-82. I dropped $125 for one course and I now know that I could have used what I had.
Further more. I had to buy another antiquated calculator for my finance class that cost me $75.
In the modern world, I should have been able to buy each of these for about $5 as an app on my phone.
Don't get me started on the bookstore and textbooks.

- wtallis 16y agoUnfortunately, you do have to replace the batteries every few years, so they're not perfect. (I've owned a 15c for 3-4 years and have not yet replaced the batteries. My dad has replaced the batteries in his 12c about 5 times in the past 20 years.)
