The OS I just downloaded has version 3.0.1.1753 is that the old or a new version?

So the 'bricking' one?

Nice I'll TNOC it and save it for ppl who want Lua later.

Sure, go ahead, boycott TI so the sales of their most profitable division will drop by a statistically unmeaningful margin.

Yes, the 3.0 softwares files are still there but not linked from anywhere on TI's site.
The 3.0 OS files have really been removed though.

Plus, it's not like we're their main market.

We probably make up ~1% of their calc sales.

Also, boycotting won't work, since we already bought the calcs, it's not like we were planning on buying more. They already made the money off of us. A boycott would have to be done by a) the teachers, etc. that are the target market and b) before the teachers bought their calc sets. a boycott is meaningless if the product has already been fully sold. (Not true for consumables, like transportation, groceries, office supplies, etc.) but you only buy, what, 1 calc per 5 years max? (not counting kerm and DJ )

ok then, way less, but I was trying to be optimistic
maybe 1E-4%?

I wonder if that is still true?  They have poured a lot of money into fixing the nspire problems and each design change seems to result in new problems to be solved with no end in sight.  For example a new OS that bricks calc's.  Also the original keyboard with its closely spaced tiny green alpha keys was terrible and the present keyboard with it's closely spaced tiny alpha keys is still terrible.
