Post-Halloween Updates
Posted by Michael on 3 November 2003, 23:55 GMT
While there hasn't been much news recently, there are several things worth mentioning today. First, Anneheim Geoffrey has been working on a MIDI-playing utility called PolySnd v2.0, for the 89/92+/Voyage 200. It has a player and a converter. The EE*Pro (89 & 92+/Voyage 200) and ME*Pro (89 & 92+/Voyage 200) flash applications are now free for download in the TI Online Store. Previously these apps were only available for a fee. They are primarily useful for Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering students. Finally, Seth Berger was kind enough to send in pictures of his Halloween costume (from 1996). I mention this because he wore the most awesome costume one could possibly wear: He dressed up as everyone's favorite calculator, the TI-85!. Update (Joey): The player has been updated, so go grab the new version. Also, major props to Seth on the costume... I wish I were that brave.

Just an idea,
Nobody needs to buy the 3.5mm > 2.5mm converter.
there are many ways to do this without paying anything.
a)
plug your link cord in to the calc, and touch your earphone contacts 1 to near the beginning, and 1 on the end.(only useful if your earphone doesn't have a regular connector - mine came from a 130-in-one set from radio shack.)
b)
cut, and splice a spare link cable to your headphones
(this idea came from somebody's text file in the text directory of the archives.
c)
any combination of the two, or anything else you can think of.

Ummm, who listens to MIDI files or WAV files? I mean, MIDI can't have vocals, and WAV is uncompressed, and only music producers really need uncompressed digital audio, and even when they do, they generally use AIFF or another pro format.

It is great that TI has made some more free apps. I can finally use the final version of EE, without the trial poop.
I wish they would make all of their apps free, like the CellSheet App for the TI-89. Of course, most things that CellSheet does can be done on the TI-89 without the App, but it's still better for the newbies.
In fact, I don't understand why even make software (especially for the calculator - unless you are looking for games or are a programmer, you probably never even heard of education.ti.com aside from what is written on the back of your calc) not free. It's not Microsoft Word, or Adobe Photoshop, and they barely do anything. for those 7 or 15 dollars I could go to jameco.com and buy 60 transistors and maybe even a few power transformers with shipping and handling, and still have money left over.

The program gave me a "black bar of death" Address Error as soon as I executed the program. I've got a TI89 with AMS 2.09
