This won't take off anywhere except perhaps awkward lab rooms. It looks clunky and limited to appeal to hobbyist programmers, and will probably cost more than it's worth.

I honestly think that the 68k line is as good as a calc for programming can get. Their built-in Basic language kicks a**, I still can't believe how great it is. Whenever I remind myself of it I'm tempted to code something in it just for old times sake :') It may not be blazing fast but it has a great syntax, powerful graphic functions (you can draw sprites on screen without any external lib!) and fairly advanced features like those indirection strings which can make code so much faster and cleaner

I still want to make an epic BASIC game some day, but then again I want to make a lot of things I never get around to...

If it doesn't include programming, then there will end up being someone who will find a way to manipulate one of its files (kinda like the 82/85, yet kinda not) to allow for assembly. As for basic, or any other interpreted language, that may never happen, unlesss......
Jon takes a stealthy look at MLC....

...unless MLC is ported to the Casio AFX!

For those people who want to try the Nspire CAS on on their computer, see the download below.

If it doesn't include programming, it's almost sure I won't get one. My 84+SE gets me by just fine as far as math is concerned. (And there's nifty apps for it like Symbolic)

That emulator is actually the PC Nspire software. it's supposed to emulate the calc in function (not like true emulation Ala Virtual TI), but I could never get it to work. (including this one. It keeps saying that a file is missing.)

The PDF is the interesting part of the download, since it has the command reference in it. It pretty much matches up with what I have in the calc handbooks.

Still no programming commands from what I see. It still has the function capabilies that I posted on my ongoing forum topic http://www.bluecrimson.com/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?b-tinspire/m-1161633215/, but nothing else.

I haven't tried installing it yet. I only found a link for it

Check out http://education.ti.com/educationportal/sites/DEUTSCHLAND/productDetail/de_nspire_cas.html?subid=1&topid=73 for more information. It seems that the Nspire has a new interface that is easier to use, slightly different hardware specifications, a different keyboard/cursor layout, and has the ability to switch keyboard plates with the TI84. Unfortunately, the design is still aesthetically unpleasant and specifications about programming support and CAS are still unavailable

o.o

it just snaps in...

Well, I wonder if we can get it to play z80 games (Emu8x perhaps

)
