The current Nspire Basic syntax ressembles closely to the Maple (is it called Erable in the US?) syntax.

Never heard of that language. In US it must be called Maple, though, considering it's the english for Érable.

Yes, but this is all it said:

Zach,

Thank you for choosing Texas Instruments.

I understand you are inquiring about the future availability of the TI-84 Plus family graphing calculators.

The TI-84 Plus remains one of our most popular calculators and there are no plans to phase it out. We are always working to identify new opportunities to improve Texas Instruments products and have upgraded the operating system (OS) of the TI-84 Plus family. The new 2.53MP upgrade includes MathPrint, scroll functions, easy to use templates, and many more features. The upgrade to the OS is free and is available at the following link:

I invite you to check out one of our interactive presentation tool, the TI SmartView Emulator Software for the TI-84 Plus Family. Please see the below URL for additional information and a 30 day free trial:

I hope that you find this information helpful. If you have further questions or comments, please feel free to send me an email.

Warmest regards,

lol, they're the same!

From what I can gather from this e-mail, it implies that the TI-84 Plus will remain in production for another while, but it comes from TI-Cares, which sometimes replies with erroneous information, so we cannot really take it for granted.

That said, I am starting to wonder why they would discontinue the 84+ when they just released a new OS for it only 7 or 8 months ago, though...

you know, I think we shouldn't post so much negative stuff about the Nspire and TI, I think we are one of the main causes of TI doing this.  I mean, most people at my school are getting Nspires, no offense to us, but we really should stop before more of this happens.  Although I doubt it can revert this.  But then again, I don't think tha Z80 community will die when there are still BEs and 83s and some 84s.
btw, I've noticed the one from apcalc always tells more truth.

Thats odd, I got a different reply:

EDIT:

I see why there are different replies. Mine is from César López, the others are from Jo Henderson.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was just uninformed. From the online TI store 84+SE link:

IPL: Item 84PLSE/CLM/1L1/W and uom EA not on pricelist USA SRP

Also, maybe they are simply selling the rest of their supplies in USA? That said, maybe they decided to just discontinue the calc in some countries, but if that was the case, I doubt they would mention that production has stopped on those sites...

And Yunhua98 I don't think it matters. Being nice did not make things much better either. I doubt a company will stop producing z80 calcs just because a group of 300-600 users is angry at them for locking down the TI-Nspire.

Ah ok good. I wonder what he will have to say. To me, production stoppage == no more of that model produced anywhere anymore.
