Ok, I have a pair of TI-83+s. One is the one I use all the time for school, programing, etc, and it is in perfect condition. I also have an other TI-83+ that is in ok condition, It is missing the cover and the screen is a bit damaged, but otherwise it's ok. I really don't have any use for that second 83+, does anyone have any ideas of what to do with it? Just wanted to hear your ideas, thanks!

Modify it. Look up color on ticalc.org.

- put it in an aquarium so the fishes can play with it
- make a name-badge of it (so that only the screen is visible)
- give it wheels and make a TI-mobile

I think, if you don't want to mess with solder or anything else like that, you should probably do something special for the 4th of July. (Launch up in a rocket, for example.) Chop it into pieces, and launch it up. Watch it go boom. Make a video of it!!!

lol, I am just kidding, but that would be cool.

yeah, I had mu first calc stolen, so I wanted to make my new one conspicuous so i could see who stole it, i used a paint pen but it didn't stick well. You could try model paint, available at hobby shops, I'm not sure if acrylic or water-based would be better, my guess is acrylic.
