        They’re still using the successor TI-84 in high school and it still costs around $100.

      I still have to use the calculator when taking exams. If I pull out a phone it’s an automatic fail.

      Same, but different calculator: I own an HP-48SX, but now I just use HP-48GX emulated in an Android app.
