    I’ve just been using 89s since I was in middle school. Always liked them. Always kept with them. My main calculator is a 20 year old 89 Titanium. Those things are built like tanks.

    Though it may be a bit of a ship of Theseus. I’ve replaced the cover and battery cover 2-3 times, and I even replaced the tiny backup battery cover once.

      Yeah, I didn’t get mine until halfway through college in like, 2008. By that time, I was pretty well-versed in the 86. I had a bunch of dog ears in the giant manual it came with. At some point, I still want to do the AGS-001 frontlight mod to it. People have taken the frontlight panel out of the original Gameboy advance sp and put it in the 86. I’ve been thinking about doing it for the last 20 years, should just do it.
