This makes you wonder how much the production costs for these things really are at this point.

Good god, they cost that much? I remember using the TI-86s in high school back in 2001. We were always told how expensive those were.
Yep, there's an app for that. And it's $2.
things have been changing, when I started high school a TI83 was like $100. When I started college they were like $40, and everyone had at least a TI84 or 89.
Pro-tip: You could use the programming features as note takers to sneak equations and formulas into tests.
sure, try using that in college ....
Good thing I didn't major in math then. I would have thrown it at them for making me spend $150 on a calculator that can be replicated on any modern computing device.
Chinese kids don't use this kind of calculator and they have much better math skill.
And smaller penises.
Here you go again. You have large e-penis, we know that.
whatever. TI89 was worth every single penny i paid for it. my engineering classes would have been more miserable w/o it
The good old days of graphing calculators.

A friend of mine had the TI-92 Plus. Damn that was a beast of a graphing calculator and completely overkill for our AP Calculus class needs.

They have to charge that much still, because they pay for lobbying state departments of education, spamming message boards for math teachers, etc. They've managed to get TI-83+ incorporated into tons of textbooks. Yet, in general, math students are no better off for this. In fact, I'd argue that the average student actually knows LESS because of graphing calculators.
