It says the 84 will have an i/o port and have about 3x the archive but the same amount of ram? Also about the same res(8x16 char). But I guess the 84 is not as exciting as it first look liked. It mainly seems to have "upgraded" features to the 83+se and tabbed on a usb port which of course is not bad at all.

A new calc is always exciting. And this is weird... I will have to get used to the fact that there is a TI-84 now. That fills the gap between the TI-82 series and the TI-85 series. They can't make another TI-83-ish model now, because they're starting to run out of names. They can't make a TI-85, obviously, because it already exists. They'll have to go to TI-84 Gold Edition or something, if they want to keep it up.

TI-84.5

LOL I would hope that they wouldn't go that far ;-)

Gold? Why not TITANIUM...they did it with the 89...and they didn't even have silver or gold first... :)

TI-89-TI

Subliminal messages, I tell you! :)

TI-87, TI-88

Wasn't the TI-88 a computer?

Was it in an 8X style case?

-W-

The TI-88 was a scientific calculator that did not make it out of prototyping. BTW, I tried to type this on a Win98 Pentium 1, and whenever I typed the first letter of a window, it would open the window. Why does this happen? I was typing in a text box, and the window was active.

That's happened to me sometimes....rebooting fixes it.

But that implies that they are part of a different series... probably the TI-85 series.

That would be good, actually, they need an upgrade to the TI-86s.

Don't you know that the TI-88 was an unreleased prototype that was a new version of the TI-59. It was a program-only calc.

I don't think these even deserve a new number, it should be the TI-83+ Titanium. Then the real next one would be the TI-83-2, cause they can't have it run into the 85.

Or even better, they could start a new numbering system, with the TI-A1, TI-B1, TI-C1, and TI-D1 being the sequals to the 83+, 86, 89, and 92+.

Or...TI-101...hehe that sounds like a class for learning how to use calculators (I actually have one of those classes at my college. You learn how to press the Y= and Graph keys! lol)

Sad. But, that's how it is, most people at my advanced math course didn't know how to turn off the Axes. And that was the first time I'd ever used the TI-82, and I found out how in two seconds. Window, Right. Scroll down to "Axes Off", and press Enter. Then press Graph.

That is sad...

I wonder if they'll have a ViewScreen version.

I think that they are all compatible with viewscreen. You don't need a special version.

MWM

For all the other ones you need a special version. Maybe that's where all this extra cost is coming from.

The V200, TI-92, and TI-92 Plus already have Viewscreen compatability, but I doubt 'normal' calcs would have them.
