It fits in with my rather large collection of old electronics (ti-85, palm m500, ti-35x, etc). Birthdate: August 15, 1994 S/N: not telling ;) Status: Blue t-shirt and custom jeans, listening to q104.7 and appears happy. Almost mint (scratches and tape incident) She's gone everywhere (Vegas, LA, Palm Springs twice, Willits (by Ukiah (by Eureka)) and ran the mile with me. :) Prototype CBL model? (beta 7?) ???????

It was on that fateful day that the box containing said calculator proceeded to fall from my truck and get itself runover by a semi. No longer would I be widdling away my hours playing tetris and doing the occasional sum. I turned my truck around, but alas the TI-85 was now nothing but a flattened remnant of a once spectacular calculator. However, for some reason I do still have my laptop from college, you know, that one with the hard drive smaller than my ipod?

You newbie :) My trusty TI-82 resides on my desk in a basket of office supplies, ready for any check-book balancing/tax calculating needs. And it still boasts the "MATH Power for All" sticker my AP calc teacher gave the class in 11th grade. You can't beat that. TI-85?
