Unintentional support of ASM is in that category?

EDIT: Nevermind. Nice list :)
Not sure how it landed there. I might have moved the wrong thing around or a staff edited the post wrongly :P

Also, does TI ever advertise their calcs on TV?
I think they did.

I doubt they do anymore, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did in the past. I know Casio did a commercial of their first color screen calc in 1995 in France.

i've never seen any commercial of TI, but i think it's quite logical.. they don't sell to individual people (mostly not), but to companies, schools, groups etc. for those people you don't really need to advertise. Once you made fame in the world of calcs (like TI and casio did), you don't have to promote them anymore..

it might raise the profit a little, but it won't be enough to equal the price of the ads

True, although back in the days, they seemed to put more emphasis on getting students to buy their own calc too, and over here even schools recommended students to buy a calc.

Of course even if that was still the case, however, TI has the monopoly so they don't need to advertise if their profits aren't threatened, not to mention they make money in far more stuff than just calculators.

Same in France.

You'll never see schools getting you calcs. You'll have to buy it yourself in a store... They may just recommand some models, although each teacher will have its preference....

In USA most schools provides calcs for the students and even lend them. That's why in recent years there have been less calc coders sometimes, because those people get no link cable so no way to transfer their creation online. Over here they lent some calcs too but they were usually TI-82s and didn't have enough for the entire class.

Not all students get calcs here. Only some do and those are usually 83+'s.

I can say that they do lend out the calcs here (California), ranging from 82s to 84pses. Some of them seem to know about linking and such, idk whether it's because they looked up the calc on google or saw me playing stuff (also msd8x) :P  Tho I did point a dozen-plus people to ticalc.org, maybe it spread that way.

There's some people who have their own calcs too. :)

I saw it being done in middle school and no later. In 7th grade we used TI-83+SEs and in 8th we used 84+s. After that we used our own.
Also, put in "1st post-2000 calc to officially suck" (2007 for TI).
