I can never be too mad at TI for this, since I'm only a programmer today because of a Ti-83+ and TI-BASIC

Or at least that's what I thought about I got to the part about the guilt the author felt over the purchase, and the teacher trying to buy them out of pocket. It really is despicable that we require 100$+ purchase every student's education when there are so many realistic cheaper alternatives

Shouldn't there be millions of used Ti-83s by now? Seems like there shouldn't be a real need to buy new when the market should be saturated with used. I know I have 2 Ti-83s in a box somewhere collecting dust.

This could be solved with a simple sellback program.

1. Purchase from school for $100

2. Sell back for $95

3. Repeat forever until calculator breaks

Do most people them them on to college as well though?
