Danny,

Thank you for contacting Texas Instruments.

Recently you contacted us regarding a question about the TI-84 Plus Silver
Edition. I had to do additional research on this matter and got a more detailed
response for you.

TI Education Technology in the US and Canada, as well as many other regions,
will continue to sell both the TI-84 Plus and TI-84 Plus Silver Edition. The
TI-84 Plus Silver Edition is an important part of our product offering and we
will continue to update and support this product.

Sales and marketing in all regions continually review product offerings to
ensure they are meeting the needs of their markets. We currently sell products
in Europe to meet specific country retail and educational markets. TI has
products available in the US that are not sold in Europe and vice versa because
they are not the best products to meet the specific country needs. In that vein,
TI Education Technology Europe has phased out the TI-84 Plus Silver edition in
those select markets.

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,

César López

Thank you apcalc (and César López). :)  It looks like we've been over concerned all along. :)

Interesting, except that this one didn't mention the "production" state.

Hopefully, that's the truth. And hopefully it doesn't mean they will phase out the 84+ SE in America soon too.

I also just cross-posted this on Cemetech- I also earlier posted the news about the removal of that "Production halted" message there.

The userbars in my sig are links embedded links.

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

Ah, that's great! César López is definitely one of those rare TI reps that care at all what we say :D

Great to hear!

errrm, no, you are wrong there, he is the one who told me that the missing RAM pages were a "feature"

but, I guess that THIS particular topic must interest them more than asm on a nspire...

lol :P

He may have worded that a little differently than most of us would but TI may see it as a feature that it has extra RAM, regardless of size. :)

Mhmm, if this is true, then I guess the SE will just be available in specific countries then. I sure hope they won't say production stopped again, though, because that will confuse people again, like it did with us.
