TI announces TI-83 Plus graphing calculator
Posted on 11 January 1999, 22:18 GMT
Texas Instruments has announced the TI-83 Plus graphing calculator. This is an upgradable calculator designed for high school and lower level university math and science courses. The TI-83 Plus includes all the features of the TI-83, and adds these features: - Flash ROM technology
- 160K built-in Flash ROM (user data archive)
- New applications developed by TI and other educational software developers
The TI-83 Plus is expected to cost about $5 or $10 more than the TI-83 and should be available this spring.

Will the 83 plus have a Z80 processor? Also will the new ROM size bring about a prog size limit as it does with the 86?

Ti-83 Plus? Why didn't they just call it the Ti-84? This is going to create a whole other programming group for Ti-calcs. I suppose that it will be able to be programmed in assembly, too. I hope this doesn't make the Ti-83s obsolete after so many students have already purchased them just for school. (Similar to the Ti-82)
It'll be interesting to see what people think of this new calculator. I wonder if the normal Ti-83s will be able to be updated like the Ti-92s.

All I can say is, when does the 86 get to be Plussed??? I want Flash ROM and some more RAM, too!! Oh yeah, visit the new z80 Programming Organization for any z80 calc! It's at Xoom. Have fun programming!

Oh god!! A TI-83 Plus! And I just bought a TI-83 on New Years Eve! I agree that it should be called the TI-84, but the plus does a cool ring to it!! So, will all the calcs now have Flash ROM??

I know I'm complaining a lot, sorry:D
I don't think TI-83 will become useless, either. What I said was that I think many TI-83 owners will think that way. I think improving products is good, too. But maybe we don't want to see EVERY benchmark they archieve? They shouldn't offer us every test version they construct. There is basically no difference between TI-83/83+, there goes our improvements;)
And you asked what's wrong with TI making money. Nothing, but I think it's too much to throw every single thing they come up with on sales. Not that TI-83+ would be bad product, I just mean there's nothing very new to previous model. And as of intel's production line, I think it sucks. It shouldn't be so hard to do something better once, these new processors have always been only slightly better than previous ones(for the money, of course. and i think AMD etc. keeps it same way because they want to share the sales, if they'd be doing some 1000Mhz development, they wouldn't be able to release these products now, and they'd fell out of the market)...
Carried away, eh?! =D
