So I have an Idea that could change the way WZGUILIB operates and can be used forever, if it works. I will keep you posted.

how many are Nspire programmers?

It is Directly using the UseThisFile.lua file that that is located in page 7, I just changed on.create to on.construction

240*(3/4+1/2*1/4)=210 then?
That is probably pretty close. The cool thing though is that since I started programming, a couple of poeple were inspired by me and started programming computers, so we have an odd number of programmers considering the average class. Sadly same for me. 3 times. (I dont count people making "Input A; Disp A") Probably a total of 1000+ students.
Poeple dont even try that. Most of them dont know where the prgm menu even is.

probably, except my school counts the 60 7th and 8th graders as high schoolers.

there are probably more than 160 now that I think about it, everyone from a sophmore and up has one, unless they got to be in algebra 1 when they were 8th graders, then they got one when they were freshmen. Even though I got one as a freshman, I didn't even know about programming, I just thougt graphing calculators looked cool.

there is like 300 kids, at the very least 160 of them have an 83 or 84. I still havn't met anyone else in the entire state that programs calculators either yet.

That is if you are a programmer, but we are a minority of users. I am the only calc programmer at my entire school.

The crappy emulator probably wasnt that hard to make, the CAS OS has WAY more features and functions and would cost more to make. Also since TI is slowly pushing for the CX and CX CAS, by phasing out the old Nspires, to become the only new Nspire types avalible, there is no 84 emulator on the CX. It would have taken alot longer to make the CAS OS because of all of the extera functionality, way longer than to make an 84 emulator.
And I agree, we should stop arguing.

Yes, but they have the calculator purposely locked so that you can only use a CAS OS on their specified CAS calculators. If poeple want to use a calculator that has a CAS, Then TI wants them to buy the more expensive calculator. They didn't realy try to lock down the Z80 or the 68000 based calculators because the operating systems and hardware was not even compatible, you couldn't put the ti-89 OS(CAS) on a ti-84+ silver(non-CAS). TI-89's sold for way more money because they had a CAS OS. they probably only costed a little bit more to manufacture than the 84 too.
Another thing you must look at is features, the CAS OS has more features, which made it more expensive to produce because it probably took more man hours to make. You are paying for those man hours when you buy the CAS calculator for maybe $20 more.
What I ment was the sell the CAS OS CALCULATOR for more money than the non CAS OS CALCULATOR.

They sell the CAS OS for more money than the non CAS OS, so they arent making as much of a profit AKA loosing money on their product. They may not be going in the red on a manufacturing standpoint because they are still make Nspires, but they do loose money.
Many stores have the CX CAS priced the same as on TI's website, maybe even less in some cases.

I just thought I would post what it looks like when you change the on.create to on.construction on the "UseThisFile.lua" file that I had provided above and run it in 3.2...
What this means is that if I want to still have 3.1 compatibility, I will have to have diffrent drawing code, at least for strings.

Yes, but that is why they are locking it down in the first place. PTTKiller dosnt have much of an effect on TI except in the class room, but OSlauncher could causes TI to loose money. Corporations will try to protect their profits.
Think of it this way, Every calc that uses OSLauncher to start a CAS OS instead of the regular OS, TI has just lost $20. Every Student that finds out that OSLauncher exists because they visit sites that have it because they are looking for games could now download it. That is hundreds of poeple.
