Although i do have the say - the TI-89 is a fantastic calculator (the 92+ is even better, but its just an upgraded 89), If you want one calculator for life, the 89 is a fantastic buy (I'm starting to sound like a promotion on feet)
Well this is assuming your older then 18 - because the British exam boards ban them - sigh
Its quite worrying, countries like France insist on a TI class calculator - but here in blighty we are forced into some Casio crap - /rant
But of course, it can be very daunting, and not very novice friendly - hell it doesn't even have a sqrt button
Back on topic:
I have to agree, early adopters will always get screwed over, and there's no point going bleeding edge, because in a month or 2 you're no longer bleeding edge, and in 6-8 months your out of date
Look at people who bought into BD/HDVD - they are already onto the 3rd revision of HDMI, the initial players were ridiculously overpriced and now you can buy something for 1/2 the price
