Nobody can make such claims yet because the firmware isn't out. It's extremely possible that there's still an exploit waiting to be discovered. Beyond that, the "you got what you deserve" comment is extremely harsh. Nobody "deserved" this; there was a risk taken, but don't rub our losses in our faces just because you support Casio.

I'm sorry Reo, I really wasn't trying to rub your losses in your faces, but the time is over due for everyone to understand that you can't have it both ways. If you really object to the way TI treats this community then show it by not supporting TI and their products.  On the other hand, how does anyone have any right to complain about the way TI treats us if they are going to support ti and their products?  I read all this moaning and groaning about how TI is doing this terrible thing with their next os update and then there is all this support for their products.  Thats rediculous.  If you don't like what TI is doing, then stop supporting them or, if you choose to support them, stop complaining.

Hey I think you double posted, Dingus :)
Anyway, you'll have to make a choice Spiro. Casio can be better because they aren't intentionally blocking third party development, but the CX and TI-nspire family in general has a larger resolution screen, and drawing commands when you program in Lua are much faster.
I've used calcs from both TI and Casio, and depends on which one suits.

Or better just get both (though that may cost too much)

Yeah, I guess I somehow double posted.  Maybe it's the keyboard or something.  It seems to happen several times a year and I don't know why.  Sorry about that.

It might not be your fault, but your internet ;)
Maybe Netham should add protection for this.

I would go for an NSpire.

I would say, as of right now, Nspire due to there being more development for it and more programs already released. However, since Casio did their promotion, I think that development for the Prizm is going to skyrocket and there could possibly be more developed for it in the future.

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

In reply to Dingus, we need to remain polite to other members, though, and in most classes people are actually forced to buy TI calcs, even Nspires sometimes. I find your last post quite uncalled for Dingus and you better be careful (after all, people have every right to complain about what they bought. Maybe they simply do not like what other calcs has to offer too, such as the Prizm's considerably inferior RAM for example).

Also, people buy TI calcs because they want to program for a platform on which their games will have a greater audience (which, sadly, is TI calcs, and we can do nothing about it because of their monopoly in schools). The PRIZM popularity is picking up a bit, but some people would rather make a Nspire Lua game that will be played by hundreds of people in the world rather than a PRIZM C or ASM game that will be played by only 13 or 14 people.

I wouldn't be surprised if some schools actually even disallowed any other calc in their classes too. Also news flash for you: Some areas only sells TI calcs and not everyone got access to a credit card or Paypal account to buy online.

Also I'm sure the exploit was fixed,  but given TI's history of OS bugs, I wouldn't be surprised if the new OS, especially with the many upcoming changes and updates in it, even had more exploits than any other. It's just a matter of finding the exploit then making sure Ndless installs correctly without risks of damages.

If you don't remain polite, what you might actually do is simply discourage people from signing up on the forums. They will find your posts and act like "Wow! Look how bad they are treating their users at Omnimaga! I'm gonna go to another site instead.", which happened before elsewhere and to a lesser extent here.

O.O I hope not! I hope Omnimaga doesn't have an image like that outside the community :|
