is that even worth the time or post? In the time it saves you could probably blink your eyes twice (if you use it for ten years).

or since it is so fast, maybe you could spend that extra time calculating how much you do actually save

I did some math. If you use your TI-25 for 1 year straight (no breaks!) then you've saved 3 whole seconds to do with as you please.

Given that we now live in a time when 'giving our all' is being stretched and stressed more and more, I believe Nick is touching on the great importance to save and savor every second we can. ;)

I'm taking my 3 seconds and taking a trip to Europe... a short one.

you wasted your wime to figute <I>that</I> out? dude...

I'm BIG on time management. :)

lol :)

Since we've been on the topic of the millennium lately, if you used your overclocked TI-25 for 1000 years straight, you'd save just under an hour of time.
Think of what you could do with an hour? The possibilities seem endless... I think I'm going to go buy a TI-25 first thing tomorrow, and do what this guy did so that in a couple hundred millenniums I'll be able to take a week's vacation....

Don't bother going to Europe. I live there. It sucks. The weather's lousy (living in Scotland hasn't prejudiced that view at all), the phone lines are slow so we can only get 57KBs-1 (or 33.6 in mainland Europe) and connecting to here or ACZ fills your slow phoneline with rantings of mad BASMIC fools (please don't start a debate here, ACZ has a nice argument going on at the minute).

I reckon the time would be better spent drinking coffee.

57Kbps?

In the ol' US, the stupid FCC limits it to 53Kbps.

LOL!!!!! I think what we have here is a kid with to much time on his hands LOL!!!!!

What we have here, is a psychologist. LOL

Actually, in the UK we can get an ISDN 128KBs-1 line for a tenner a month. But then we have to pay for local phone calls...

COOL! Where I live (smack in the middle of nowhere), 56K is a "new" technology and ISDN still costs $200 a millisecond.

wow! 0.0015%, I wish my APR was that low.

LoL!

don't have much to report as far as news, eh, guys?

that may be, but this is hilarious. I almost fell out of my chair laughing. The fact that it is not fake news, makes it better than the overclocking with americonius, and for less of an increase.

Ok... being a computer and electronic buff myself, I guess it is I who should appreciate this stuff... and I do! I do! But... why a TI-25?

How many of you even OWN the ti25? I do. I used it on the ACT, as the 89 isnt allowed there.(sat?) And i must say this is the best news ive heard all year about the ti 25.(the only news ive heard about the ti25.) I plan on going out and buying 3 fans and carry around a plug with me to run them with the overclocked parts. Why doesnt ticalc.org do a non Graphing calc page? Ti makes many more calcs than are shown here. Certanly not a games/archive page, but at least features list so i know what scientific calc i should get.(Solar vs battery vs both...etc) Mean while, this person can now move up the ladder and apply their knowledge to maybe...The TI15!

>And i must say this is the best news
>ive heard all year about the ti 25.
>(the only news ive heard about the ti25.)

I don't have anything useful to add. Just that that's a great statement. :)

Proving that it *can* be done, I got a 36 on the ACT math last April with a TI-30 SLR+. Yeah, the old yellow/black/navy blue piece of dung that they discontinued some six years ago.
It's a calculator. It calculated. I can't ask for anything more. :)

Holy cow, that thing? We had those in grade school... They like did the fractions (mixed > perfect, perfect > mixed, and more)... now they're pretty much outdated by the equally functional but extremely more expensive TI-73 =)

And you have no idea how much fraction conversion helped on the ACT :)

--BlueCalx

what else do you need?

What was your composite? I finally got a 36 on the math and that was my only 36 ever. I used my old 83, I don't remember how much I used it though.

31 english, 36 math, 34 reading, 34 science.
