Why did it die?
And i wonder if there will be a non-silver edition of the 84+c

O EM GEE. WUT DON'T FUCKING TEASE ME TI, IS IT APRIL 1 AND I SOMEHOW MISSED IT?

It has a memory screen right? Can't we at least see how much memory that thing has?

NO F****** WAY! THIS IS AMAZING

(what will the price be)

I WILL SO BUY THIS

Darn that looks quite great. I'm really curious about some stuff though:

-The most important thing is if old programs will run or if there will be a compatibility mode? With 84 Plus being part of the name, I would assume TI is not stupid enough to break compatibility with previous 84+ 2.55MP programs or add a way to allow them to run, but again we already saw what they did with the TI-82 STATS (it's basically a 83 in disguise so it won't run 82 games)

-I assume that TI-BASIC programs will at least run and that the speed will not be much slower than it is on the 84+, given TI's record of not pulling BASIC languages slower than Casio. However, how will the Line(), Pxl-On, Pt-On, etc commands will behave? Remember how shitty FX-9860G graphical games looked like on the PRIZM...

-Will it finally part ways with TI-Connect/linking softwares, allowing us to use the calc in mass storage device mode by default like the PRIZM?

-Is the processor the same? If that's the case, then maybe porting games might not be too hard.

-How much TI will charge for that calc? If they want to cater to 83+ users, they definitively will have to charge much less than the 84+SE, especially if they have plans to phase out the 83+ and 84+ one day. In Quebec, a TI-83+ costs $130, a TI-84+ $150, a TI-84+SE $175 and TI-Nspire CX (without the CAS) $185.

-And of course, will it be locked down like the Nspire?

The great news though is that there will at least be a TI color calc that uses an interface that is almost identical to the old z80 models, so it should be far easier for people to switch, like people switching from older Casio calcs to the PRIZM (the PRIZM has the exact same interface as the FX-9860G, but with color and higher resolution)

Oh, nice! Let's have a 50MHZ calc (compared to 16 MHZ)
and I'm wondering if ti reads along all this....

Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure they do
(also, a LOT of visits from TI on tiplanet actually come from Omnimaga (referral))

About 98% of TI-Planet visits are from Omnimaga?

oh, and will it have extra ram? (probably not, lol)

It's gotta have more RAM if it's going to be handling all those pixels.

SOmething I just saw that I like a lot: See attachment below, which shows the calc fonts zoomed in. Notice how they look very close to the standard small TI fonts? To me, it seems like that calc might be trying in some ways to not break graphical compatibility too much. And if the image quality happens to be poor and the fonts are actually pixelated IRL, then that's even better.

I hope to see more info and if possible some tests.

The good thing is that according to calc84maniac, the guy said Asm commands were still present in the CATALOG.

EDIT: Nvm got confused with Cooliojazz file editor project. Anyway OTcalc died because it could only progress during Summer due to school work.

I hope it doesn't come with OS 2.71 MP... (well, it wouldn't due to AsmComp/prgm being present, but I mean all the bugs...)
