What i I am asking is ... Ok I need a graphic calculator
Is it worth it to shell out the $$$ for TI-89 now to future proof or get a TI-83 and buy a TI-89 if I need one...
Something that will take me through AP Calc to the most crazy Physics or Math work that can be done...

I bought a book on C++ that was recommend by a friend and a cheap book on C and I just can't get into it.
It start off ok, but then the throw 50 lines of code at you for even a basic program and I get lost...
