ha, this is funny a faster cpu? for a calc? come on ok so i play games and stuff... and done some cool stuff with the calc but this? thats out of line what will you have to cary with you a car battery? j/k probably a laptop battery? hehe anyway this would be a nice thing but who really cares if you need a second calc wouldnt you get the 89 or 92? why go lower ?? plus how are programes going to run with that fast a cpu? they might as well add a color display and a built in tv/fm tuner lol...

Read the article you stupid ass. They say that it is a new chip, not that it will be in a calc or not. I HATE THESE MOFO's THAT DON'T READ IT ALL AND ASSUME THINGS!

LINUX RULES!

Correct. Dispite the fact that ticalc.org felt this was newsworthy, it is highly unlikely that TI would use this new processor in any new graphing calculator (at least not within the next 20 years).

Well, with the huge community of z80 asm coders out there, I'd think that this news item would spurn a lot of conversation. And it has.

Most of it (so far) hasn't been Z80-related.. :)

Well, I guess you win some and you lose some. :) I thought the article was interesting. The conversations have at least been fairly interesting, if not altogether on-topic.

This comment should have been deleted except that it also would have deleted Bryan's comment, which was a useful comment. Regardless of how you may feel, these message boards are not the place to call people names and insult them.

Kirk shutup.... Seriously. Blah Blah, I'm sick of no calling people names when they are DUMB! blah blah, maybe you and your rich, spoiled family have the money to goto a private school and act right, BUT I'm POOR, ha! hmm, I'm just blabering, but umm, yeah that's it

LINUX RULES OVER WINDOZE!!

Now would be a good time for me to bring up the fact that it's taken me two months to find the money to simply APPLY to college (I'm applying to five colleges all costing >$50 to apply).
There's always someone worse off, dude.

Hmmm... This reminds me of another thread... Or maybe two. Let's see if I can tie them together here. Did you (or your parents) know that this money is (not just a tax deduction) a tax CREDIT?! Yup, thanks to Billy-Bob Clinton, all college-related fees and tuition are now tax creditable. It saved me a ton this last tax season. I actually got money back instead of having to pay, for a change.

O.K. Back on topic... As for a TCP/IP stack. Wouldn't that be useful in a calculator, if it were put to use as a multi-calc link for classrooms (or for you game freaks, multiplayer games). Maybe the internet is not ready for calculators, but I think calculators might be ready for networks.

So I act dumb,

You are the dumbass, quit wasting time with your pointless minutiea and get a job. I worked my ass off this summer 45 hours/week at $9/hour so I could pay for college not so I could complain on a message board. Get a life.

<maybe you and your rich, spoiled family have the money to goto a private school and act right, BUT I'm POOR, ha!>

Wow, akromix. So what you're saying is that your poor and therefore can't help the fact that you make stupid, insulting comments? :/

Yup I'm stupid and poor, but not really. I just don't goto a private school. Just to let the "STUPID" people know....I AM NOT POOR, it was a joke, and to the person who said get a life, maybe you should and not reply! I have a job and I work my ass off and I get paid. Too bad it is my business. Agh.... Sigh.... The money.... The Cash..... I'm not trying to offend anyone, but if I am just reply to this and bitch...

I was VERY upset at Bryan's reply to your initial comment. Because he had an intellegent comment, it meant I couldn't delete your offensive and entirely inappropriate comment (disclaimer--that was the only reason; I'm not really upset at Bryan).

I suggest you start being more polite immediately, or you will find yourself without posting privileges rather quickly.

I get asked stupid questions at help@ticalc.org every single day. I answer each one politely. If you find a poster is not up to your standards of intelligence, simply ignore him. Flames are unnecessary and not tolerated.

What was wrong with my reply to his initial comment?

Too worthwhile to delete :)

I didn't know that comments could be deleted... Very nice...

Oh, yes - an essential tool for any moderator. :)

Welcome to the wonderful world of moderation.

Hey hey hey, I'm sorry for all the shit I've been saying. I didn't mean to offend anyone! I guess I did so sorry. Just don't say things like, you won't be able to post anymore. Cause I have more than one account...

It is very clearly stated that having multiple accounts is reason for having all accounts revoked. I suggest you choose your favorite account and email accounts@ticalc.org to have the others removed? (This goes for everyone who might happen to have more than one account around.)

i did read the articals, i was saying that it would be intresting if they did use it and who are you to say if they will or they will not, its not for you to make the choice, i can have my own say... i know that there z80/ez80's are in other apliances...
and if ti used the z80 they might use the ez80, plus TI doesnt only make calcs...

This is true, TI doesn't make calcs alone. In face, it's kind of a side-line for them now days. Their real cash cow is DSP's. I'm more than half suprised they are not using their own facilities to make the core for all their calcs. I suppose there's something to be said for NOT re-creating the wheel, though. (Am I even making sense?!)

Tangental topic,
