the smartest thing to do is to hit up your school's office and say you lost a calculator. when they bring out the basket full of lost calculators and glasses, find "your" calculator. return it when you don't need it anymore. or, don't return it...but you should return it eventually. these things cost $$$
ugh.... I have to buy a new TI 89 Titanium too..... I lost mine when I took the SATs (my brain was completly fried at the end), and my parents are going to make me replace it.
And my math class this fall requires a Ti 83 plus so I actually have to buy TWO calculaters.
GRRR......
definitely look on ebay. that's where i got mine and it was a lotttt cheaper than the ones in the stores. also some schools get discounts on them if you buy through them, but they would probably tell you if they could get it to you cheaper...
