Fun fact: That TI-89, thanks to 20 years of being the same price, is now cycle for cycle one of the most expensive computational devices on the planet -- by a wide margin.

Sure it's not the TI-83+? I think they're still being issued in schools and still based on a Z80 core.

Pretty much all of the TI graphing calculators should cost about $20 these days.

Yeah, they are Z80 based. Twenty years of tech advancement should have crashed the price to almost nothing -- only reason it hasn't is TI effectively has a monopoly due to being embedded in textbooks and test requirements.
