I will like to see a PSpice program for the TI-92+.

I agree 100%. I want PSpice for the 92 or 92 plus. Heck, I would buy the 89 also if they said they would do it. I was really dissapointed at the thenevin and norton program for the TI. I thought you would be able to add more elements and then it would solve. For those who care I am and EE major at VCU. I also want to state for the records $75 for EE*Pro, EE*Stinks. I really want the program, but from what I have seen on the site, it has not convinced me to spend my very limited money on it. Warez sites will be busy all day long with people pirating this software.

I was just curious, even though I don't have a 92 or a 92+, how TI sells this, even though people can give it out or "warez" it in a sense, since it is not hardware? Or will it work on a specific calculator? Would someone clarify this?

First, this is for the TI-89 and TI-92 Plus, not the TI-92. Maybe TI will use the serial # that is unique to each calculator and somehow make version s that only works for a particular serial #.

*Everything* can be pirated or stolen. In my opinion, $75 is WAY too high for calculator software. You'd be lucky to get students to buy PC software for that much.

If it is sold for $75 or more, there will be very few buyers, and it will be pirated. And that pirating *won't* hurt their profits, contrary to what they would have you believe. They won't lose money if the people wouldn't have bought it in the first place.

If they sell software, for, say $25, people might actually buy it.

Actually $75 isn't so bad. If you consider that this is being targetted at college students and professionals, paying $75 for such a program is reasonable. People wanting to pirate such a program is even less likely.

And also...giving it away for free does cause a loss of profit.

75 bucks!! I guess that TI has forgotten that most of its customers are students im high-school. i agree that 25 buck would be more reasonable

Hmm, I disagree. The TI-89 is not targeted for high schoolers. The TI-8x calculators were hacked and then bought en masse by high schoolers, but the TI-85 was designed as an engineer or scientist's calculator.

The TI-82 was targeted for high schoolers. It's not until the TI-86 that the powerful calculators were targeted for high schoolers.

These are not Gameboys, these are powerful Z80-based calculators; now the TI-89 is Motorola-based, and it is still targeted for college students and engineers.

Why would you need Electrical Engineering software in high school?

I am in Computer Engineering (A combo of Compuer Science and EE) and would be willing to pay the price, IF the software is of a high enough quality and with enough content.

$75 is a little high though. That's how much the TI-92 plus upgrade is, and that also covers new hardware. It seems like it should be a little lower because it is just software. And it isn't a program. It's the entire calculator operating system (just in case you don't already know by now).

To those of you who are saying that $75 is too
much to pay for calculator software, have you all gone to the EE*Pro software description page? I'm a Computer Engineering Major and I can say that i would be willing to pay $75 for that powerful piece of software. Like the guy before me said, what do highschool students need it for anyway? That's beyond me!
