It's crazy to think I bought my ti-89 in 2000 it was 250ish. It ran on a 68000 that was already old AF, and I love that calculator. Why was it so expensive. At the time other graphing calculators existed but no other company had a comparable calculator(at least to me)

the TI-84 uses a z80 (which KOS targets), which is from the 80s

Both the Z80 and the 68000 were launched in the 70s.
