Edit | I like the 89. I have a T, but it isn't quite as good as the classic, because it has a bunch of extra junk. The grayscale graphics, huge memory, and nearly limitless potential really outshine the complexity.
The 83 series of calcs are really the weakest of all. The 84+ is... rather ugly to me. |

And if I feel like throwing it across the room, anything else. |

And I'm not sure anyone likes the v200 the best, because it's more of (at least how I look of it) a handheld organizer that happens to do calculations as well. |

Total Posts: 2486 | Well, I'd probably say my fav. cal is 89. I liked grayscale on the 86 but that's about it, I always hated the ugly and annoying interface seen on 85/86. v200 is good but somewhat large to carry around so that's why I prefer 89. 89T and 84 series are just plain ugly, no offence anyone. 83/+/SE are nice but they can't beat 89 which has lots of ram, hi-res screen and faster proc, not to mention decent grayscale. That's about it for me.

And remember, the TI calculators come with math software as their OS, and windows compys have that native calculator. :-/ |

LOL! That's great! Unless you need a CAS for something, then you're kind of stuck with the 89 family. |

Total Posts: 310 | At least you can FIT a V200 in a pocket. Back in the day there was only the 92, or as I like to call it, the brick. :P |
