I don't understand the QWERTY thing. Don't they make TI calculators with QWERTY keyboards?

TI-89 exists because TI-92 was classified as "computer" rather than "calculator" due to its QWERTY keyboard.

I know that's the reason, and it makes no sense. You'd think educators would know enough to know that they're both computers and having a QWERTY keyboard doesn't make it any easier to cheat.
