Excellent Piece of Machinery

I have tested one of these when a high school teacher had a class set that was retired. The model I was playing with was a standard TI-92, but with some tinkering and a small inexpensive chip, the calculator can be upgraded to a 92+ efficiently. No other TI calculator can be user-upgraded, and if someone was really talented, they could modify the module upgrade to be even higher yet.
Being obsolete to the TI-89 Titanium and Voyage 200 series calculators (and the nSpire, but lets not go there) I still recommend this particular model. The keys are not awkwardly shaped or placed like the Voyage, and easier to find than its TI-89 counterpart. Having polygon-based CAD system built in, you can quickly and easily draw shapes and vectors and find formulas in a pinch.
The thing is a beast, can take several drops before the main shell can pop off and the unit takes 4 AA batteries, lasting longer than it's 4AAA counterparts.
It lacks no features to its newer counterparts and the prettyprint WYSIWYG display makes keeping track of your formulas easily, so if you make a typo, you know right away.
I wish this model didn't become so obsolete, but for being over a decade old, its definitely good for those who are serious, or for those who just like programming 86K programming. And if you like calculator games, this one does them quite excellently, with greyscale dot matrix graphics and its processor excells for that.
If you can get one of these cheap, I recommend it, I am trying to find one myself so I can relive those days of toying with it, because its more fun to toy with this than it is to toy with my 89-Titanium.
