Any geeks have need of a TI-85 caculator? I should sell this thing I never use. How often do you graph sin waves?

I think most geeks past high school have Maple, Mathematica, or Matlab.

How could I resist... You ask a geek question, your gonna get a geek answer :-)

I just dumped a ti-83 not too long ago, on eBay. Students still use them.

You'd be surprised. Well, okay, I don't actually graph just a sine wave on the calculator all that often. Because it's faster to just draw the damn thing on the whiteboard. But functions involving sine waves, now you're talking.
My TI-82 is still serving me well.

Possibly if I end up taking Calculus for fun this spring... how much would you be looking to get for it? (I have no idea how much they even cost).

On ebay it's only going for $20 - $60, and it's the old model since replaced by a similar one (ti-86, goes for $120). The thing is you only might need it in spring? If you're not sure, it would be a waste for you at any price :) If you want it I could sell it for like $30?

On the other hand given its low value I was thinking of making it a charitable donation.

Yell if I don't respond - I usually don't check posts more than a day old! Yes, I do know I suck!
