These stickers aren't listed anywhere in the European version of TI's Online Store (not that I was going to buy them anyway...), so I guess these are only available in the US and Canada.

they probably think that we are the only people stupid enoughf to buy this stuff.

Adhesive overlays is a rather odd way of saying sticker...

So that's what they are. The link's down :)

Works now.

If they said "graphing calculator stickers" it would sound really tacky and no one would buy them...still, I agree that they're trying too hard to sound "professional" or something.

This is sooo sad. You'd think that TI would use their resources to create something that's actually USEFUL for their calculators. I'd rather have more funcionality, then stickers that I'll be made fun of for!

Here's an idea for TI: release a flash memory card adapter for the link/USB ports. Granted, the calc would need a specialized app to handle the extra memory and probably a whole new way of addressing the memory, but the benefits would be immeasurable. You'd never run out of archive space, AND, you could swap out the flash memory cards, allowing the creation of multiple profiles.
In addition, it would simplify sending programs to and from calculators. Many computers nowadays have built-in memory card readers (and they are dirt-cheap anyway). Just load programs to and from the memory card and you wouldn't have to bother with link software!

Amen

Sounds good...they could also try to keep the current quality and features while bringing down the cost so more people could afford calcs, or lower the power consumption or something else...like making a TI-86+. ;-)

Well you could just buy an HP 49g+ like me... 75MHz ARM9 processor, IrDA, SD card slot... and a myriad of math programs to choose from (HPcalc.org is nothing like the BASIC math section of TICalc.org which is 98.043% quadratic solvers).

Genius

But TI could go even further. How about an external processor that plugs in through the USB/link port? All you'd need would be a really old CPU, like a Pentium I for example. Obviously, you'd need to write Z80 emulation software for it or something to allow interfacing with the calculator. It could use the Mode 0 interrupts to directly control the calc's hardware. In combination with flash memory for storage and, say, a wireless network adapter, the calc would really be tricked out! (Just imagine the possibilities for games...)

The reason TI doesn't make AC adapters, FLASH cards, etc. is that there's almost no market for them. Sure, everyone on ticalc would appreciate these things, but we have to remember that the majority does not spend 99% of their waking lives playing Reuben Quest over and over.

TI should release the details of the USB link port so people here could develop drivers for such things from which TI itself could not make sufficient money.

Amen to that!

Or maybe they could be designed so that they work like a hard drive. It would make on-calc development tools feasible, because you could store your project on the memory card, and if you have a crash, you can recover and pick up where you left off. I've read that the HPs have some development system like this.

Bling Bling!
My calculata is []D[][]V[][]D foo!
Fo sho!

that's funny, you're funny, you should be a comedian..

I was thinking more along the lines of a rapper.
You never know, though.

don't you mean a 'comidot'

actually i was being sarcastic, but yes comidiot describes it pretty well
