The Breakdown
- No apps, no wifi, pure calculation only
- Standard on SAT, ACT, AP exams for decades
- One-time purchase, lasts semesters
- Still runs on AAA batteries from 2004
- TI pricing unchanged since the Bush era
Side Effects
ancestors nodding, modern distractions blocked, eternal battery life
