Why would you want to spend that much on a calculator?!
That's b/c the TI-83 and TI-83 plus were on our booklist. We didn't have to use/purchase this calculator if money was ever going to be an issue.

Yeah and used the TI-83 for yr 11 General Math (NSW equivalent ???) and the Plus for Further Math AKA General Math (NSW).

Don't by DAL calculators, SVPAM ones are really good i hate DAL calculators because the actual number must be imputed before you input the function.

A secret function... *Trades in his CASIO. The only good thing mine does is if you hold shift and reset it.

Not unless you actually know how to use them.

I know how to use D.A.L calculators, but it was just a little pain, and like most teachers at my school had gotten into using the SVPAM ones and could teach better with them.

For D.A.L's or SVPAM? Perhaps it's because i used a VPAM since year 9.
