o.o

I'll be taking a break for now from wooden calcs, actually, to devote my attention to making a wooden laptop.

Yay Eeems won the one and only wooden graphing calculator! and I won the bet that he'd win
It ended at $70, $5.80 shipping.

I do stuff under the "company" name SkyLites - SL. My eBay name is SkylitesProducts, and the calculator says "Skylites" on it in very large sloppy letters Well, not letters - it's a logo format. The top of the first S and the bottom on the second reach to the L in the middle. I also sign my other weird wooden things and my software with Skylites.

Yeah, I think by what Elfprince said on Cemetech that he's out, and Kerm might bid, but hasn't much yet... so unless maximillionfriday wants to return, it could end there (and it ends today).  CVSoft predicted it'd level off around $65; so far he's marvelously correct!

Get your wooden calculator ready, DJ O betters...

I'll bet one wooden TI-82 on Eeems. But this "maximillion" fellow seems pretty serious; anyone know who he is? I don't.

Yeah, being a weird wooden-cased and thus not as useful as a plastic-cased calc, I shoulda used an 81. But I didn't have one on hand.

Thanks for the compliments. 

I saw the video and this thing looks nicer than a regular 82. I especially like how you made the keys like a ti83+/84.

Great job ! The original 82 is ugly imo, and you fixed that.

I agree, I think the TI-83-esque makeover is an improvement!

Shut up and take my money!
Well, assuming the auction doesn't go up to $1000 or something and/or that I win. I always wondered if you would ever produce multiple copies of this or put the first to auction one day

I remember seeing this over at Cemetech. It's really a beauty. I'm actually kind of surprised that you're selling it. I've got it on the watch list for now.

Thanks for bidding/watching! Yeah, it'd be cool for me to keep it forever, but I know there are other in the community who would enjoy owning it, while I have the ability make a new one, plus I bought a mess of 8 Dell D620 laptops and am now broke, so I hope to raise funds to repair them.

Sort of cheap for something you seem to have put a lot of effort into.

Sadly thats been my experiance with handmade crafts 

So true. But it depends on how I look at it: in one way, I paid $15 for this and am selling it for possibly $50; a $35 profit, which is decent. On the other hand I put 34 hours of work into it, making my wage about $1 an hour, not so good. So depends on how I look at it.

Question: What ROM does it use? I have a 82 with ROM 16.0 that can barely run anything because most programs were made for ROM 19.0 and 19.0006 >.<

Actually it has 18.0!  So not 19.0, but I have tested and ran CrASH, zTris, Penguins, and some other stuff with no trouble.

What would happen if you dropped it (as I do to my TI-83+ at least once everyday on accident)

I wonder how heavy it is

Well, while I wouldn't say it's lighter than a normal 82, it's still pretty light, because maple is light. Also, if you dropped it it'd probably do pretty well - maple is quite tough and strong. I like it. Though I wouldn't recommend dropping it over 2 feet to a hard surface. Oh, and some hot-glued components inside might come apart

Greetings. That "Maplen TI-82" I made (http://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=219811) is now available for auction on eBay. It eh, is interesting, please tell all your friends and teachers about this: I especially envision this on a teacher's desk or something, as it's not terribly useful, being a TI-82, more iconic and a work of art. Here is a picture, for those who haven't seen:



It's available here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111380133505.
Please consider bidding, but again, I just hope all who could be interested will see it. And, there is a youtube video in the Cemetech topic I linked to first. Thank you.
