I don't think anything happens to the current OS during the "send" stage, just during the "install" stage. I could be wrong though.

Indeed, unlike the TI-Z80 and TI-68k series, the Nspire series doesn't write the OS to Flash memory until it has been fully received, and the signature has been checked :)

but if you pull the usb before it has been sent totally, isn't it saved in some dark corner of the memory then? so that it's impossible to remove.. or isn't that true?

Well, if any files are saved into unrecorded memory, then they are usually ignored and overwritten. no worries there.

Also, anything in RAM is lost on reboot, and that's where it saves it while it's sending.

If any of you are as annoyed as I am with the closed nature of the Nspire compared to the Casio Prizm or even earlier TI calcs, and if you happen to have bought your Nspire at Amazon as I did, write a review and let the world know.  The manufacturers DO pay attention to Amazon ratings, as that is what many people use to decide what to buy.  My own personal peeve is that I do research and write  small to medium size programs in TI-Basic to test certain ideas, some of it to do with Signal Processing.  I'm talking things like Fast Fourier Transforms.

The Nspire has the needed speed, but you can't start a graph at the end of a program run, automatically, like I could on the slower but well thought out TI-89.  Everything is manual on the Nspire.  My 'rant' is on Amazon here:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A14BPYS1D1ZJS5/ref=cm_cr_pr_auth_rev?ie=UTF8&sort_by=MostRecentReview

It's best if you only do this if you bought your unit on Amazon, that way it wouldn't look like some group was stacking the cards against this product (it would look political, contrived or something).  Nonetheless, used well, the Amazon product review feedback is one way of getting manufacturers to 'listen up'.

See, but most of us love the Nspire.  Go to maybe a Casio or HP website :\  Please don't post that kind of stuff on our forums.

Not everyone on this site loves the Nspire.  I see a lot of people frustrated by it's closed format.  I don't think you speak for everyone.

I own  a Ti-86 and two Titaniums.  I'm hardly anti-Texas Instruments, per se

Anyway, when you try and do production work with them they are very cumbersome.  Maybe o.k. for education, but they've turned their back on researchers and others who needs are different.

I realize that.  That's why I said most.

Anyways... Back to OS 3.2. I heard someone say it's coming out next week.  I thought it was delayed?

Yay for the Nspire owner.

Due to dissatisfaction, I will be inactive on Omnimaga until further notice. (?? THP hasn't been much success and there's also the CE. I might possibly be here for a while.)
If you want to implore me to come back, or otherwise contact me, I can be found on GitHub (bluebear94), Twitter (@melranosF_), Reddit (/u/Fluffy8x), or e-mail (if you know my address). As a last resort, send me a PM on Cemetech (bluebear94) or join Touhou Prono (don't be fooled by the name). I've also enabled notifications for PMs on Omnimaga, but I don't advise using that since I might be banned.

@AzNg0d1030: First of all, don't micro moderate. If you have a problem with a post use the "report to moderator button". Second of all, his post isn't spammy, it's well stated and not even rude. If anyone was out of place here it was you telling him to "go else where", so please watch that.

@mlytle0: Welcome to Omni. We have people that have all sorts of calculators here including Prizms. I myself own most of TI's models in on form or another except for the nSpire due to it's rather closed nature. Anyhow, I hope you stick around. If you haven't already, you may want to go <a href=http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?board=10.0>introduce yourself.</a>

I don't have much to say about the new OS really, I'm glad (for nSpire users) that at least Lua is getting updated and getting more toys if nothing else.
