wait, what are Trial Apps?

Back when you used to have to pay for apps, people would make apps that would only run a certain number of times and then delete themselves.

(These are also the type of Apps that Axe makes.)

AXE doesn't make permanent apps? (i've never made an app)

You have to send them to the computer, sign them, and send them back in order to make them stay longer than 16ish runs.

I knew about the whole signing issue, but I didn't know that was why it mattered.

Maybe they'll give up and give us the nspire keys!

And it will take four hours to boot up the nspire.

so the CX won't startup untill the end of a test

And it will take four hours to boot up the nspire.

I already notice the CX takes a friggin long while to boot actually. I think it takes 2x longer than my clickpad. X.x

READ THIS, TI SPIES!

They are focusing too much on blocking us than their main target -- students.  Students and teachers want a fast calculator that can boot up quickly and calculate expressions within fractions of a second.  Most students, even on the relatively open 83+ family, did not play games.  Those who do play games are tech savvy enough to find an exploit or use an already existing program.  TI is shooting themselves in the foot: they are making it harder for students to use and pushing hobbyists away from TI brand calculators.
