The TI-89 was ~$100 when I bought one 20 years ago. Looked it up on Amazon and they're $100-$150 depending on the specific model. They haven't kept up with inflation at all, which means they've been getting cheaper this whole time...

For 100$ you can buy new phone and install any math software you want

Grab the rom for whichever Texas Instruments calculator you like best and use one of the various TI8X emulators:

Just google for the rom file you want. I just tried the TI92+ found here:

Weird calculator, but one of the more common TI models should look just as nice
