100%

The 1% who would rather spend their time complaining about an issue
instead of addressing the issue.

Perhaps a few hundred software companies who want to cash in on the
student calculator market without the risk of a new and untested
hardware platform. I don't think you understand the money to be made in
this market. If you team up with a calculus book author and have them
put examples in there using your 3d-visualization software for the
ti-89, guess how much you've just forced your way into a market that is
so hard to breach without the clout TI has?
