Maybe. Their site might be getting lots of traffic from students and teachers and maybe the teachers got angry that that model was stopped. But again, I'm not sure if they really care if students have access to a 84+SE with 1.54 MB of RAM rather than just the 84+. I am sure the discontinuation of the cheaper TI-83+ would cause even more of an outrage, unless the 84+ replaced it and dropped to the 83+ price.

Though, in my school, the teachers DO insist that if you cant get an nspire, get a TI-84+SE

Ya, it's weird. I don't know. Not sure what to tell this guy until we figure some of this out.

Maybe we convinced them to continue the production? ;D

If it's the case, I wonder for how much longer, though...

(Or maybe there was a strike at the factory and TI decided to just produce the essential for a while)

that page has some mistakes x.x

Sometimes Wikipedia cannot be trusted at 100%
I think it was just worded badly - the 90/150 was supposed to mean it can run at either speed.

O_o perhaps their decision to discontinue it caused an outrage and now they take it back?

Yeah, we did it!
You were all great! :)

We could send him a Google cache of a page, or a Web Archive page.

Or we could ask him about the four calc sites that no longer list the 84+ SE? See Critor's post on page 3 for reference.



The userbars in my sig are links embedded links.

And in addition to calculator (and Python!) stuff, I mod Civilization 4 (frequently with Python).

Lol thanks. Let's hope it is really the case, though. I hope in 2 months we won't end up with the same discontinuation messages again x.x

That said, one thing I think is that since Omnimaga and TI-BANK both gets lots of traffic (110000 visitors a month for Omni and I think about 70000-90000 for TI-BANK, right?), a lot of guests might have gotten angry at TI or something and asked them to not discontinue the calc. There are many possible scenarios. But it's sure positive so far. :)

Something else interesting is that the TI site DJ linked to on the last page has a Google cache from September 21st... which is nine days before it was reported here. And in that cache, the silver edition is listed as discontinued.

I could check other caches if I had the time, but basically that means the calc has been "discontinued" for some time before we found out about it. I wonder how long?

For TI-Australia, this may be normal.
I think that calculators that have more than 800Kb archive are forbidden on exams over there.
Casio made a special version of the fx-9860G and named it the fx-9860G AU in order to sell it there. It has less archive available.
Moreover, I couldn't find an archived web page in the Internet Wayback Machine.

But for TI-Denmark, TI-Spain, and TI-Sweden, the Internet Wayback Machine has severall matches, and the TI-84+SE used to be listed.


I've renewsed on TI-Bank -> http://ti.bank.free.fr/index.php?mod=news&ac=commentaires&id=871

As DJ-Omnimaga was saying, I hope I won't have to renews about that anytime soon...

Hmm, these are some interesting developments.  I'm still in an email chain that appears to be leading somewhere; hopefully I get a definitive answer tomorrow. :)

Hmm, someone should copy the HTML/CSS from the cached version, in case Google updates it.

Here is a copy of the cached Swiss french pages:
http://xandrean.free.fr/ti84pse-discontinued/graph-suisse-fr.html
http://xandrean.free.fr/ti84pse-discontinued/ti84pse-suisse-fr.html

I'm trying to get the other pages too.
