My first reaction to the above was "oh my god, how are kids really still using the TI-84"

This is what the New Hotness looked like when I was a kid, in the early '90s. It had a Z80 processor under the hood, just like the TI-84

@jalefkowit We just had to buy a TI-84 for the kid for Math classes - I couldn't believe that in the year 2024 I would be spending $$$ on a brand new Z80 system.

@tsturm @jalefkowit The Z80 was sadly finally discontinued this year.
I wonder what they're now using for CPUs in calculators that are programmable, but not programmable enough to do your calculus homework for you.
I suppose now you could get a FPGA that can exactly mimic a z80?

@jalefkowit They still cost way too much, too.

@apLundell @tsturm They stopped making the Z80, but (afaik) they are still making its backwards-compatible successor, the eZ80. So I assume the Z80 market will just migrate to that.
