True, the Xres trick works, and I have used it on multiple occasions to speed up graphing, but that destroys graph quality. Asking TI to limit its screen updates, even in an upcoming OS update, is a legitimate request.

* Freyaday banged his head against the keyboard in frustration, and found the result to have more meaning in it than everything TI-Cares has sent out, combined.

Actually with Xres I made a racing game once. It was kinda cool, although it had frame by frame movement rather than continous scrolling.

That said, I heard graphing on the HP-48G was even slower than on TI calcs and Casio Prizm graphing, while being fast, doesn't seem that much more performant than TI when we consider that this calc runs on a much faster CPU.

The TI-Cares form doesn't even have my OS in the OS drop down menu! I run Ubuntu 10.10 (I'm not getting the new version yet).

Well at least my dad's computer has XP on it and I have to use that to do all of my calc file transfers.

TI's response to most of our questions we want answered though is I'm sorry but we can not ell you that. or you must be mistaken there is no secret programming language on the Nspires.

Or: No. There is only as much memory on the calculator as is shown. Go away.

I'll bet TI uses a bot; but everyone already figured it out.

TI's legal department seems to consider all non-public documentation to be proprietary trade secrets.
"No tools will make a man a skilled workman, or master of defense, nor be of any use to him who has not learned how to handle them, and has never bestowed any attention upon them. . . . Yes, [] the tools which would teach men their own use would be beyond price."—Plato's The Republic, circa 380 BC

I don't think they support Mac anymore either. Maybe I am wrong but I don't remember the TI-Connect Mac build being updated anymore.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did, considering governments already use them to mail letters to people about how they still owe $0.02 to them.
