I have a TI-92+ and love it. I pretty much had to get it after I found out
what was inside it (basically a Sun-2 running Mathematica :-)) I would like
a backlit color TFT version but this will do. I to would like "real" large
integers, I've got a library (aka a program) that does some multiprecision
stuff (for testing large numbers for primeness) but its not very flexible
nor is it built in.
