Review: I originally bought a TI-30X IIS for about $16 at Office Depot. I liked the unit, and gave it a 5 star review here at epinions. Then I lost it, but since they re not expensive, I went out and bought another one. Strangely, my new TI-30X IIS is not...

Review: I remember back in 8th grade (I'm a first-year college student now) when all the hype in algebra class was about this new-fangled "TI-30x" calculator. "And when your parents ask you what you want for Christmas, tell them that you want a brand new...
