Production is centralised: P-factory in China.

What they may do, is not selling the calculator any more in Europe.

We haven't bought enough TI-Nspire in Europe...
They want to force us... :(


Edit: TI has answered me on FaceBook:

In Swiss/Germany/Austria, the TI-84+SE is going to be discontinued.
Then did their webmaster write "production stopped" instead of "discontinued" by mistake ? . . .

As far as the Nspire goes. If the z80 line does get completely discontinued. I would imagine that the Nspire would start getting cracked as fast as new iPod OS's. I mean, imagine if every person in this community was working with the Nspire. There would be quite a few who just want to make programs and such, but there would also be quite a few devoted to cracking it. Imagine if brandonW was devoted to cracking the Nspire. :P

As someone whom have just one calc, and it's Nspire clickpad, I can't said it's a bad news for me...
in fact is the opposite, I can't crack nspire because i lack of acknowledge for it, but, I am really hoping to see more users going for it.

As this will improve my calc, and maybe after ndless 1.6, people will find nspire more user friendly ... ;)

but, it's bad that TI, doesn't give asm support, without this program ...

And the funniest thing is, if people really crack nspire, probably will be just one OS, one with CAS, and the 84 emulator support ...
 ;D

I really hope Calc84maniac can revive his z80 emulator at one point. I still got a copy somewhere I think but it is not convenient to use because you need to remove batteries (and the keypad) to turn it off, it has no linking support, Garbage Collecting crashes it and it runs extremly fast so it cannot be released in its current state. If he finished it that would solve most of our undocumented instructions incompatibility issues with the Nspire.

So someone somewhere screwed up and 6 other counties followed along, or they really were thinking of discontinuing it in sed countries.

Yeah it could be that. Otherwise, maybe they started discontinuing it and changed their mind, which kinda makes TI sound like a bush company in some ways. Otherwise, a strike occured at the factory where they produce calcs or the european division of TI and this caused them to temporary discontinue some models so they can focus on producing the ones that are sold the most. It's really weird, but again, TI is hard to understand, really. X.x

Welcome here by the way. :)

No, the calc is being discontinued in those countries (at least- I think it is). The screwup was the "Production Halted" message- which would mean the calc was being discontinued everywhere (since there's only one factory where 84+ SEs are made).

EDIT: Or maybe not? I thought apcalc's message from TI said that?

The userbars in my sig are links embedded links.

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

I do remember that... but it has been discontinued in four countries (where TI just removed the 84+ SE page).

Yeah but someone mentionned that the production stoppage mention has been removed in those countries too, yesterday. Is the 84+SE page still gone?

There wasn't a production stoppage mention there, though. The pages were just deleted without any announcement (according to critor's post on page 3).

And the 84+ SE pages are still gone on those sites.

Mhmm I see. This is strange.

Also I just noticed Critor's edit, before another post. It seems in Swiss and Germany it's effectively being discontinued, but not in France. TI mentions it on Facebook.

Its on facebook, was on 7 sites, what kind of error is this? TI has always seemed to hate the calculator programming/hacking communitys, and they haven't ever pleased calculator fanatics, but they discontinuing the worlds best selling calc is outrageous!
Welcome here by the way. :)
