While we're on the topic of 86's, has anyone seen TI's demo program? I work
at OfficeMax, and we just set up a new "Back to School With TI" display. When
I got the chance, I decided to check out the new 86 (selling for $129.99
U.S.). When I pressed [ON], I got a menu like this:
Stuff I don't remember
1. Start demo
2. Skip demo

======================================================================
When I went to check out the TI-92 at Staples I asked for a guidebook
so I could try to use the display model. The sales clerk couldn't find
the book for the display model; instead she opened a new package and
gave me that. A demo program would have been a nice feature for the
TI-92. Think of all the returned TI-92s that were opened for their
guidebooks. :-)
I did buy the calculator there after requesting that they meet the
$169.99 sales price offered at Service Merchandise. I offered to
buy the opened one (I had left the store for four hours between
playing with the demo and returning to buy it) but they just ignored
me.
