One reason: I would like to experiment the calculator before I buy. I
am not able to do that in a store because 1) they will not open one
for me and 2) I would have about 5 minutes to try it out, when I would
need something like a week to learn how it works and see how much
better it is than the one I have right now, a Casio Fx-7700.

That's exactly why I say TI would make more money by freely
distributing the emulator for those who would like to try it before
buying it.
If TI doesn't do that, than all I can think is that their product
might be inferior to the competition and they are afraid that they
will loose customers. Is that the case?
