For some reasons I believe TI is not trying to make calc gaming fade away from calcs. It would be contradictory since they intended to make some TI-BASIC commands from older calcs usable in calc games (even though the language was slow a**)
But my TI manual date back in early 2001 (and it seems to be 1999 edition) so it has been a long while since they said this
My manual says the same thing about getkey, and it is copyright 2004.

ook thats good to hear at least. But I thought TI only distributed the small 3-40 page-ish manual with their calcs after the 83+SE was released?

83+, which are still being sold around here, still have the paper manuals to what I have seen. The new calcs all come with CDs.

ah ok. I know the SE comes with a very small manual though and my 89t came with a 300 page manual with explained details, altough it sucks compared to the original 60-800 page TI-89 manual

ok I guess new calcs doesnt come with the quick starter guide but an actual manual. It sucks they shrinked it down that much though, because the info about programming is very limited in it. I actually learned TI-BASIC only from my big TI-83+ manual, nothing else, not even tutorials

^^ Same here, except I have the regular 83 manual, not the +. If I had to guess, I'd say it has close to 400 pages.

I'm sure it is more, it's hard to count tho since the page numerisation is divided per chapters instead of being continous, like the new manuals

You have an 89? Nice! :thumbup:
I remember you were planning on getting one.

Yeah, me too.
It's annoying how the old manuals like 83+ are not numbered as in 1-400. Grouping by sections is OK, but I would also prefer page numbers.
And I think the new N-spire are
supposed
to be anti-gaming. I guess teachers are tired of kids playing games in class, so TI hopes that a lack of programming will stop game developers. But that won't stop us right
? The SDK should be released soon...

no I'm pretty sure the 83+(SE) had some nice thick manuals. It was the 84+ and 89ti that had really skinny manuals.

Will I be able to write programs on the TI-Nspire products? If so, what is the programming language? Will a software developer's kit be available?
Currently, there are some programming capabilities (specifically function and program definition) on TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS. Increased programming functionally will be available in an operating system release expected to be available for download in early 2008. The programming language is TI-Basic. Be sure to update your handheld's operating systems regularly to receive these and other enhancements to functionality.
I thought you'd find this interesting, I found it on the Ti-Nspire website. I was just curious to see if they had announced anything about it's programming capabilities.
This looks pretty promising.

that sounds promising
hopefully the langage will be similar and offer backward compatibility with other TI-Basic language. As for now I'm not getting an N-Spire but if it gets programming capabilities I may get one, altough I'll have to buy it from TI store since it's not sold where I live

huh, lucky i had an 86 back in the days before 84+ series.
it had a pretty nice manual, it's just that basic optimizations really weren't intuitive back when I was starting out on my own before I knew about forums ^^ *
