EDIT: ITS the TI - 89 TITANIUM NOT the TI - 92
I have a ti 83 + SE (stupid long name  )
i think having both a 68k calc and z80 would be cool.
I would like to learn C but is learning it for the 89 worht it.
The 84+ SE seems to have nothing speaciel than what i have

| Whichever you think is best. If you really want to go through the trouble of learning a whole new calculator so you can program in C, go for it. |

| If you have some sort of 83 already, buying another one would be stupid. (Despite TI's numbering system, the 84s are still 83-family calculators.) Nor should you buy an 89/92/V200 unless you're going to be in a math or engineering course where you actually need power like that. |

| I think you should extend your programming skills and buy the TI89 Titanium. Besides, if you already have got an TI83+SE, it's really (stupid) to buy another oneè |

| the same as everybody said, and the 84 SE is almost the same as the 83 SE. So buy the titanium, or even better, buy a palmtop instead |

| It depends on what you plan to do with it at school. The 68k will make short work of any trig or calculus assignments. Classmates will ask to borrow it alot. |

| If you do buy the 89Ti, Sir Robin or I could help you on operational issues. (I believe he and I are the only ones here who own 68k calculators. But I may be mistaken.) If I remember right, Sir Robin was also learning C (or A68k) at one point. Wonder if he ever got that finished with... |

You could just buy a really good mobile phone (one which supports j2me and stuff) ... Get a gen 3 phone, you could make some really cool games on those  . |

Thinks for ur opions . I was grounded becase my dad sad to get off the computer but i was trying to load 'ourWorld'. It took to long and my dad rip the power code from my computer and i was grounded. IT was only 9:10  .
The 84 has those Openlib and exelib that seem very usefull ( im guessing) but 89 does have those 3d games that look very cool and i already now a little abbout C.
Just note that im in 9th grade so ... if that chages your opion than tell me. im not sure what grade level spcefic the 89 is. |

| My teachers take my calc too if they see me playing on it, and a phone is smaller, so easier to hide. |

More like math class specific. I only needed an 89 this year, in calculus.
I would prefer an 84 myself but it seems I am in the minority. I really dislike the Basic programming part of an 89, and no, I didn't ever finish learning 68k. Oh well, I'll learn C sooner or later (again, as soon as I get the time).
The 89 series is definitely more powerful math-wise, but I prefer the 83 series for all other purposes. I wouldn't mind 2 83-series calcs either - it gets annoying clearing my mem before every ARML or whatever... |

We have no idea what they actually do, so any claims to their usefullness are silly.

The 89 family is not appropriate for any high school level math course. |

They are for "an app" like I posted in that topic. Try asking TI.

Speak for yourself, I needed one this year in the 9th grade.

the "soon to come" 89 titanium is only 20-30 dollarz more then the 83SE so i think i MIGHT get that. sir robin do u have tutorials, compialrs what eva i need to start writing for the 89 or what you think i should now. U seem to know a lot so if its not to much help
I have one big question about the 84. Can asm progmars use the USB for like a two player game. The first version of USB transmites at 1.5 MB (yes Mega) per second. So it sounds like it will be easyer then the like port. |
