Post Graphing Calculator Recommendations
So my trusty TI-89 died at the worst time possible.

What kind of graphing calculators are you guys using? I haven't looked at any models since around 2002 so I'm horribly out of date with any of the newer models.

I'm interested in a new calculator with a CAS and suitable for advanced engineering work (differential equations, multi-variable calc, linear
algebra, etc)

I'm leaning towards the TI-Nspire CX CAS simply because it's the latest model TI has, but I'm open to suggestions.


EDIT:
Of course, my calculator decides to come back to life AFTER my exam Yellow_Flash_Colorz_PDT_13

Ive have had the TI-89 for the last 6 years...its helped me with all of my college classes. Ive played around with Nspire but didnt really know how to use it.

In my opinion, TI-89

I think this guy is looking for something new and improved, not something he just had Zander.

The price difference between the TI 89 Titanium and TI Nspire is small (140 for 89, 150 for the nspire), but the specs on the Nspire are significantly better. I've never heard of the nspire before so I'm asking about it.

I'm also not limiting myself to TI products.
