I like the studycards section.

why is it that on the student site they link to the inferior calcgames.org, but not ticalc?

There was a problem with the ticalc.org CD that TI published a few years back (inappropriate content), so they hate us forever. That's also why file screening ("report inappropriate content") was introduced.

How in the world did that happen?

Some idiot added a bonus level to a game that had porn. A concerned mother saw that her child was viewing porn on a program downloaded from ticalc.org, and she complained to TI. Of course, the program was deleted, but it was too late for that. :(

haha I always heard of that event, but noone evertold me what really happened, interesting... the calculator resolution is so low, especially on the ones lower than the 89, i mean, everything is so pixelated, how can you tell? lol

One word: grayscale.

Even with 4-level grayscale, it is still hard to make out a high-res pic.. 8-level, maaaaaaybe.. just maybe you could be able to make it out.

See link for a "screenshot" I made from an actual TI-86 program I found here on ticalc.org (which used almost all the RAM to store it!). Granted, it's an animation, but it looks like only 8-level grayscale.

It IS safe for work, by the way (no nudity).

That link doesn't work.

That's interesting. What happens when you click on the "Web Page" link?

I get redirected to 100webspace.com.

Hmmm... I guess my webspace host doesn't allow linking to images like that. When I visited that link, my browser got the file from the cache, so it didn't redirect like it does for you guys.

Try this new link now.

It's a pretty small screen though...

TIcalc is mentioned and there is a link in some global TI sites, like the latinoamerican one. I don't know why it's not reviewed in the US & Canada version.

Yes, they did a good job. :)

Well, I can certainly tell the "sight" was redesigned...
That said, everything loads sooo much...slower (too many pictures!).
Also, because this is what I'm really interested in, I went to the games portion of the site, and found...nothing! Just two measly "featured" games! Then, I investigated the program archives, and I have only one word: WEAK!! Ticalc.org has ~10 or 20 times the number of programs! (one wonders why they even bother...)

All in all, I give TI a score of 5/10. The reason? Well, it's like grading AP test essays: each essay starts out as a 5 (out of 9) and then proceeds up or down from there. In TI's case, it (the website) didn't proceed at all...

Yeah, I was disappointed. No product links linked to TI's store (see url), and I had to hack the URL to reach info on old calculators. Maybe we can set up a petition? Nah...

Even hacking the URL, I couldn't get to the page for the 86. :'-( They've got nothing that's easy to get to but the 83/84 series and the 89/92/v200 series (but not the "normal" 89 or 92/92+!), except for the 73+??? Who uses those anyways?

Don't you think it's time to ticalc.org to get a new design also? Obviously, with a better look and optimization than the TI's site new version. What do you think?

Erm, I think everyone will probably agree with me that this is one of the best-designed and most browser-friendly sites out there, with a clean, appealing layout and few images to make load times shorter.

OK, I agree with you. I was just thinkin' about colors, space distribution,typefaces,...; surface things :-)

I like the ticalc page. Its easy to understand and loads well in every browser I know of, and quickly, even if you have dial-up (like I did until a few weeks ago, the page still loaded very nicely).

That's one of the things that I like about this site: the simple yet effective design. IMO, its one of the best overall pages that exist.

Yeah, I've always thought a change in ticalc.org's layout would be cool, but when I think about it, I can't really think of any way it could be improved.

Yes, I especially like the loading speed (I still have dial-up...). The site is well laid out, as well. In this case, less is more (and in TI's case, more is less...).

Yeah, it's perfect. Much better than education.ti.com.
