nothing new, when I worked at CC managers did this for many products. some managers would make profits of 700K a year plus their salaries off ebay sales.
TI calculators while they have there place in Education, really do suck. I currently use a Hp 50G and love it. So powerful its scary. The Ti 89T is leaps behind the HP and it really shows if you use them side by side.
In the real wold, most engineers will be using HP. you wont see any Ti.
This has to do with the fact that the HP just tend to be alot better. The only real reason the Ti have become popular is due to TI paying off schools and educational institutions with free calculators and programs to make the schools Ti only. I remember in HS I had a HP scientific and my professors wouldn't allow me to use it. because it was not a Ti. I still used it, didnt care to much. I now as a Undergrad EE student use a HP 50G and a Hp 33s exclusively. Sure mot of my classmates use Ti, but they are suckers. When they see my HP calcs they are like whats that and then they have no clue how to use it and they don't know how much better the HP is, i find that gratifying.
HP for the win.
