TI-Cares response to lack of ASM support & limited BASIC programming [MERGED THREADS]
« on: July 19, 2010, 03:19:51 pm »
Ok..ok...  I contacted ti about the entire nspire 2.1 being non-downgradeable. Here is the response:



Alec,

Thank you for contacting Texas Instruments.

This is a very good question you have about the TI-Nspire handheld. Once you upgrade your handheld to OS 2.1, you will not be able to re-install any OS before OS 1.7. I regret any inconvenience this may cause you.

Another resource you can use to find answers to your questions, example calculations and other information is our Knowledge Base. The Knowledge Base is accessible to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

http://support.education.ti.com

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,

Doug Fincher

Ok, first of all, I hope your real name is really Alec, not Alex. If TI can't even spell your first name right, it already removes some credibility from their support center x.x

And it seems like a generic response they give to everyone x.x. Similar response to what Critor2000 got on TI-BANK:

If you haven't realized, TI-Cares is not very helpful :P
I got a similar response when asking them about the possibility of the missing RAM on newer 84+(SE)'s
I might've even been answered by the same guy... :P

I personally think they'll not even know what to respond ;D

Or maybe they'll find the excuse about bugs or new perhipherals and hide the possibility that it may have been to block Ndless usage

Calcdude: didn't he tell you the calc has 24 KB of RAM too? x.x

Ok, here was my response



"Ok,  I can understand it is not allowed, please tell me why I cant, because I feel mad that this was NOT warned and now I am stuck with OS's I do not like."


I am pretending that I installed it, I didnt really >:)

This is just TI's generic response (with some variations to be on-topic).

Indeed. Less "TI-Cares" than "TI-sends-you-a-canned-response-(i.e.-excuse)"
Or maybe "Cares" is short for that? :P j/k

It is.  I asked about the usb packet information once, and they said that it is Proprietary, and therefore cannot tell me.

I seriously doubt you'll get either :P
If you succeed, though, you'll be a hero :)
