Re: A89: Re: Help.... my TI-89 is now dead...


So do I. :)

Yeah, sorry about that, I can see that I was a bit misleading.  With the
TI-85, its so old and no one really buys them new (or even used) anymore,
and so programmers don't have much incentive to program for them.  It's just
dead. :)  The same thing will happen to the TI-89 HW1 calculator.  Also,
look at what happen with Fargo and Fargo II.  After David released Fargo II,
everyone basically switched over to Fargo II and no one used the old Fargo
stuff anymore.  And no of course, no one uses Fargo II much anymore, at
least no one really programs for it. :)  Think about it, when there's 10x
more HW2 calcs than HW1 calcs, what are people going to program for?
