yep, and lets not forget that in many schools, teachers are convincing that students that the TI-84 is a peice of shit and the nspire is the best


sadly ^ is my school

Thankfully, it is just the opposite at my school.

My teacher (probably one of the best math teachers in the state) bashes the Nspire! ;D

Somehow, I think they're getting paid by TI to brainwash students...

oh dear...
this is not what i was hoping to see when i woke up this morning. i guess i'll just have to stock up on 84+SE's(although i have no clue where im going to get the money, seeing that i have to buy a laptop, pay for college stuff, and a hundred other things).

I cannot remember where I read it... but did the original TI-84+SE have more available RAM for the user? And did TI remove the extra RAM at some point?

The same amount of extra RAM as the 83+SE, more than the 83+BE, same as the original 84+ BE.

Yes, they did...

Yes and yes.


Let's sum up things:

TI-83+ have 32Kb RAM.
TI-83+SE have 128Kb RAM.
TI-84+/TI-84+SE with hardware revision G or older have 128Kb RAM.
TI-84+/TI-84+SE with hardware revision H or newer have 48Kb RAM.

To know the hardware revision, look at the last letter to the right of your serial number.

Wow... 128Kb down to 48Kb... That sucks! I mean that really sucks!

I think TI has something against the TI programming community.

well.. I decided to buy TI's little devil product Nspire cas w/ touchpad. So far, I'm not too concerned about games (considering I never have enough time in my class to play them) but I do miss all the good programming capabilities. I think its that the 84+ SE was just discontinued in some countries to save production costs probably because they for some reason might not have sold well..

Yeah, that sucks, but maybe it's wasn't originally just to defeat the community. I mean, the extra 80 KB probably cost a lot, and most people didn't use a tenth of it.

Yeah, I hope that it's just been discontinued in some countries.  You know, if that's the case we may owe TI apology.  :-[

If you read the referenced TI pages, they're saying clearly that the production has been stopped (I won't copy the links again).

And TI-84+SE are manufactured in only one place: the P-factory in China.
So if production has been stopped, it is for the whole world.

Yeah, personally I think we are being a bit hard on TI. I mean, obviously the notices against TI-BANK regarding OS 1.1 and the downgrade protection were aimed against us, and the DMCA takedown notices were definitely pretty idiotic, but not much else were that bad. A lot of TI's actions seem pretty reasonable in business terms.
