The 68k family of calculators was powerful, no two ways about that, but the TI-89 and TI-89 Titanium had a screen that was far too small for comfort reading the density of information presented to the user.

The TI-92 & co. had a much better screen (except the first version of the TI-92 whose screen had very poor contrast) but they were far too bulky.

The Voyage 200 was a much better answer to the problem, in my opinion.

How many are you up to? I have 8 so far, including one blue 50g.

I agree with you on the TI-89, powerful calculator but the screen font is too small, and the keyboard is kind of crowded. I prefer the TI-92 Plus to the TI-89.
