WoW, I am shocked!!! :o

Can't believe TI would do that but I guess sooner than later they will discontinue it just like they did for the TI-83+SE.

Yeah me too, really :/

I doubt both the 83+ and 84+ will go anywhere soon, but I worry that one might, at one point in a few years. And I wouldn't be surprised if 68Ks disappeared too.

Another reason why people could prefer the 83+/84+ is the ease of use compared to the Nspire.

Also I moved this to news and added an image at the top of your post.

More of a reason for some of us to make our z80 games compatible with the nspire.  But at least the emulator mode allows more than 480 kb of archive

Wow.... I first saw this on IRC with the bot showing topics. Then I looked at Cemetech - same thing! O_O
I didn't realize I wasn't breathing until ~15 seconds after I saw the headline.

Well guys, looks like we'll have to add these to our todo list:
1) Get a nice, decent Z80 emulator working on the Nspire.
2) Get a nice, decent 68k emulator working on the Nspire.
3) Crack the Nspire RSA keys so we can teach them a nice lesson.
4) Screw TI!
5) Screw TI!
6) Screw TI!
7) Rev up the OTCalc projects again... and I said projects. I'd like to see a full out war against them with both OTZ80 and OTARM. :)

Don't let TI make you uniNspired. Let's fight back and teach them a lesson - community > TI!

Ok. Here's my thoughts on this:
1st thought:NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

and the rest: I myself think that it might be because of BrandonW's jailbreak program. Either that or they want less asm support and this is their first step doing that. Either way, we have not seen the last of them.

You know, this DOES really suck, though I can't say it isn't unlike Texas Instruments to pull this. However, we could use it to our advantage with OTcalc. If a ti-NSpire is too complicated for some students or even teachers, then perhaps it could be an inexpensive, easier to use alternative (the z80 or arm one, for that matter). That is assuming, however, that we do get them built. Nonetheless, I am upset that TI is doing this. I just wonder how schools will handle the change...

My math teachers hate the Nspire. They call it useless. ;)

Well, in case my calc ever breaks, I have a whole school full of them.

I guess the OTCalc project should really be kept alive now :P

As for TI-Nspire, what I hope is that in the future they won't phase out the 84+SE mode either.

I don't think this is a huge deal, considering that it's mostly the community that supports the TI-84+ SE, patching their crappy OS all the time...

Maybe, but that looks a bit scary in long terms. If they're already discontinuing such calc now, does this means next year they'll discontinue the entire z80 and 68k lines? If that's the case, that's gonna be a huge hit against the TI community in long terms, if the Nspire remains so not user friendly. Most people will probably get Casio FX-9860G calcs

I thought the 83+ would go first. Maybe they were loosing money on the se. You know, 1 extra mb of flash memory costs alot these days. ;)
