INTRODUCTION
The TI-89 Titanium includes all the built in functionality and power of the original TI-89. It has an increased amount of Flash ROM which is now equal to that of the Voyage 200 except the TI-89 Titanium is in a traditional
handheld design. Along with the Voyage 200, it is TI's most sophisticated
calculator, with such features as 3D graphing, upgradable flash ROM, built-in
assembly language programming, and a generous amount of user-available memory. It now includes a mini USB port in addition to the standard I/O port.
