All these APPS are all nice and good, but there's no room for them, when you got other stuff. I mean, I got 4 APPS (not counting Finance, which TI just put in that menu becuase they replaced the key with it on there). Those would be MirageOS, the organizer, the periodic table (yeah, I payed like $5 for those two), and the start-up customisation thing. Then I have 22 Progs. Because the calc crashes about once a week, I keep them archieved. Now the archieve is pretty full, and I got 23K RAM left.

That's why I'm looking forward to the Silver edition. Damn, I'll be able to have the APPS I have now, plus 220 programs, if what they say is true.

I must also say, the catalog help is helpful, but it's too big.

That's why they're creating the Silver Edition! :) Get one of these things and hold over 90 applications! ;)
When I get one, I'm going to put all the applications I can find onto it.

Me too

I just remembered, doesn't the 83+SE come with both Organizer and the Periodic Table pre-installed? If so, I wasted a full $14 that I could have used on my new R/C glider, and I need a job.

Yeah. I know what you mean :P. I wasted $7 on the organizer, only to have it be released for free at the beginning of the school year :(. I know the TI-83 Plus Silver Edition will come with one or two applications installed, but I'm not sure I know what they are, or if they even mentioned that they would be.

I Just read up on the 83+SE. It comes with the Organizer, Periodic Table, CellSheet, Catalog Help, Start-Up Customization, and CBL/CBR (totally useless, unless you spend at LEAST another $80) APPs.

You might just find a few more supplied with the SE.

The TI-83 Plus Silver Edition comes loaded with Calculator Software Applications including:

Periodic Table
Organizer
CellSheet™ (Free from TI Online Store when
available.)
Catalog Help
Start-Up Customization
CBL™/CBR™

What's Cellsheet? They're only really giving you 2 free applications then :|. That's too bad, because I, as well as most others, I'm sure, already own all the ones listed above except for the Cellsheet.

I wish I would have known all of this before I put out $140 for the TI-83 plus. What are we suppose to do now?! Just go out and put another $100+ on a new calculator??? I think Texas Instruments should accept our TI-83 plus's (those of us who just purchased anyway) and give us a Silver Edition!

I have a ti83+ and I was wondering if any of you guys could pass me the free organizer app for the ti83+. It would be really helpful to me if you did.

I was going to submit these as news items a couple weeks ago, but I figured they would have posted the information by now :P. I figured it wasn't that important any longer, so I just ignored it. Doesn't ticalc.org search for their own news? I guess I'll be checking out tinews more often. Last time I went there, TI was trying to close their site down (jealousy, of coarse:) ) and I've never really checked their site again since then. I'll be doing that soon.

Our newsguys do some searching of their own, but if you come across something that we have not already posted, you are *always* very welcome to send this to us (at news@ticalc.org). It may be that we didn't want to post it (happens, but not all that often, AFAIK), or it may be that we did not know (yet).

I'd like to point out that I made a vocabulary program for the TI-83 many years ago, but somehow nobody seemed interested enough to pursuade me to continue development. Perhaps it was removed from the database...

Is this the program to which you refer?

Well, we all probably know the problem that there is not enough Archive-Memory for ALL usefull applications.

Isn't it possible to use a new flash-rom memory with more capacity instead of the old one?
This would save loads of money (or at least lots).
