I'd recommend getting a TI-89 if you're interested in computers and learning to type with your thumbs. I've already expressed
my thoughts on the subject of graphing calculators..
If you're interested in math, half the fun is figuring out all the cool stuff, and then making the calculator slog through the actual number crunching part. It's not fun if you have the calculator do that part, too.
If you live near a decently sized school, I say go to the University bookstore. Find the math section, and flip through textbooks until you find one that has the level and course design you want. Then go buy it used from one of the other bookstores in the area.
