Last week got a TI-83 Plus, cost me around Dhs. 500, sadly my dad could not find a TI-84 in Dubai. Five minutes after playing with it I wanted to connect it to my computer and add some additional applications, but to my surprise the package had a CD-ROM with more applications for the calculator but did not have a cable to connect to a PC. However there is a small cable which can link two calculators. TI-84s come with a USB cable with them.

I have almost completed my IB math syllabus and more than half of physics without requiring some fancy calculator like this. At least I’ll be able to use it during my exam. But should I or should I not? I hardly know how to operate the calculator properly and I am pretty sure I will be able to do as good without it.
