This evening was particulary epic on http://www.univers-ti-nspire.fr/forum/ (fr) about those destructions. (3 in 2 days)
So yeah, this is my point of view :

It's the official french TI forum.

Some T3 teacher said (probably without reading/understanding anything) we were responsible for all this, as we were using unauthorised OSes and encouraging their use on TI-Bank...

That's just silly x.x Do we know exactly how it goes wrong?
Critor, wait, what? It seems that they definitely did not understand anything. :(

They're just stupid. I guess they put blames on us whenever stuff happens.

Well... they'll see in a few years if we unite with Cemetech boycott of the TI-Nspire CX and that almost no game are being produced for the new OS and students decides to go with calculators that they heard there were games for, such as the Casio Prizm or older TI-Nspire calcs.

Wow, I just read the thread on Cemetech. I think I'll get a Prizm instead of a CX...
(If anyone else didn't read it, it's right here: http://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5861)

If anyone who has a Prizm could answer the following questions, it would be greatly appreciated.
1. Can it simplify fractions like (1/2)+(32/7)=71/14?
2. Can it do prime factorizations like factor(221)=13*17?
3. Can it add nth roots like (3*root(2,8))+(5*root(2,2))=11*sqrt(2)?
4. Is input handled as well as it is with mathprint on the TI calcs?

This is just sad. Texas Instrument's quality control has been lacking for years, and it only seems to be getting worse. It amazes me how many issues they've had with the Nspire since it's release.
