ticalc.org Mentioned in San Francisco Chronicle
Posted on 18 August 1998, 21:50 GMT
The San Francisco Chronicle has published an article about buying a graphing calculator in the Technology Section of their newspaper. In the article, this site is mentioned as a supporter of TI graphing calculators. This marks the first time ticalc.org has gotten printed media attention -- and hopefully not the last!

Congratulations for the ticalc.org.
But when i read all the comments on this page, i'm really indignant ! Please, all people must STOP THE WAR BETWEEN TICACLC.ORG AND TIFILES !!!!!!!! This 2 web sites are really excellent and i think that they are fuller. Ticalc.org obliged Tifiles to be better and Tifiles obliged Ticalc.org to be better. This is the right way.
Then, please stop the war. Thanks by advance,
~Olivier

Ok, that's just lame. Ti-Files has always been a good site, and just because they aren't preps and cant afford high-priced servers. Also, the Files does something that shows their true devotion to the TI community. They put the files up by hand. Not by some server script. I know and respect SQL and CGI, but the Files deserves applause for keeping a site of that magnititude by themselves. I don't understand why people have to rip on the Files. They went through a period of server instability, and finally found a home at http://ti-files.gsu.edu/ (A very fast and reliable server I might add). I have much respect for ticalc.org too, but that doesn't mean I have to choose sides. Overall, ticalc.org is a more professional and efficient site, but if you want user-friendly content and a loving staff, visit the Files. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for. Thanks for reading, and keep up the good work.....both the Files and ticalc.

Why is this viewed as a slap in the face to TI-files? They can't help it if no one knows they exist. ;-)

That just shows how popular ticalc.org is and that is awesome. First of all, I do not agree with someone's comment (made earlier) that TI-Files looks better... TI-Files will never be better.
Did you see their excuse of not updating files... hmm, what a coincidence, the same time ticalc.org stops updating for a week... I wonder what that implies... TI-Files is just a rip-off of TICALC.ORG with a few additions. Don't download from TI-Files, stay at TICALC.ORG... for life.
What's awesome about that article is that TI's own site wasn't even mentioned... hmm... now that is cool.
TICALC.ORG forever!
