Hopefully TI starts on a faster TI-89 C or whatever they want to call it, the 84C is way too underpowered for its screen. However, the nSpire has been displacing the 68k (at least here).
The 83.fr is probably going to replace the 84s in France. Any word on the fate of the 82 Stats.fr?

Plus my 82 often misses pixel columns (usually it becomes fine when used for a while), which can be annoying for developing graphical games.
My TI-82 did the same thing (on columns 15 and 69), but the problem went away after playing around with the affected columns a lot and using fresh batteries. Weak batteries seemed to aggravate the problem.

TI-86 vs. TI-83: Twice as big, twice as slow, (almost) twice the features, and a lot more memory.
My preferred programming platform is TI-82; it ensures compatibility and eases porting to TI-85 at the expense of strings. Fortunately Graphlink can fix the syntax to work with the 83. It's a bit smaller too, and the keys on my hardly-used 82 are nicely responsive.

If their BASICs were a bit faster (especially the 86) I'd be programming exclusively for them. The 85 is acceptable though.

Well, it seems I posted my updated collection to Cemetech (and didn't include the non-graphing ones) (let me know if I am wrong). Non-pictured one s are in square brackets.  Click for full sizeIn order of acquisition: TI-85 (2005), TI-89 Titanium (2008), TI-83 (2010?), TI-86 (2012), TI-84 Plus BE (mid-2012), TI-81, TI-82 (both November 2012), [CBL (early 2013)] And the scientific calcs: TI-35 (1994-ish design), TI-36X Solar (1996 design), TI-34 II, Explorer Plus powered by an AA battery, TI-30Xa (2 of them), TI-30X II S (2 or 3 of them), TI-36X Solar (the latest one), TI-30X MultiView, TI-34 MultiView, BA-II (I think), Casio fx-260 Solar, and a RadioShack two-line that is definitely a rebranded Casio. I only have a few of those in my calculator drawer though.

Also, older 83pluses are separated into two PCBs, one half with the display and the other with the keyboard and brains. If you want USB, you can integrate a SilverLink. 84pluses are on one PCB with the display glued on, so the older 83pluses are a better choice if portability is desired. It would also make a slide-out keyboard easier.

We've proven stability at 20 MHz, so yes

Simple solution: ViewScreen calc, TI Keyboard, power expander for a desktop 83+. For a portable calc, use a slide-out full keyboard. Perhaps a vertical design, in a form factor like the GBC, will allow for easier gameplay on a sliding keyboard.

... And that's eBay in a nutshell.

The first 70 palindromic primes are less than 65536, but anything after requires larger integers.

This is my laptop's typical desktop. Not much to it, but there's not much to the computer either.

The 83+ Flash chip is rated for a minimum of 1 million writes, and they can probably handle 3 million.

That would require somebody being in charge of the whole project and all other just following his orders. We didn't manage that yet.
We're also not being paid for it, nor working on it regularly with excellent communication.

When multiple different people work together on code, it quickly becomes a mess. Especially when it's a whole bunch of people on something as big as an OS.

Or we can just develop our own calc.
*cough* GlassOS Why develop a new calc when it's the OS that is the problem here? It's less work.
