Did anybody forget Animation Studio 86 (Levi Lansing), capable of 4 to 32 greys. Converting stick figure movies to 4 greys can last 2-3 minutes easily with the 64k file size max (all calcs have that limit). With the PIC2 xpander "upgrade" I converted a full 8 min Ren & Stimpy shorty for fun. Had to mod the oncalc player to load / delete/ play all the files in correct succession. Each file was 40k, so that one could be playing while the previous deleted and the next loaded. The 86 has 96k user RAM, making that easy. The files will not be released here because the PIC2 expander isn't very common and is impractical to build. Also, there the new animation designer for the 8x series by Benjamin Ryves.

obviously it has been done, but unless TI decides to make a calc with at least 100 mb ram memory(which i have no idea how big the calc would have to be, since i don't know that much about the size limitations), color screen, and speekers, no movies worth watching will be made.
Maybe TI will decide to make that dream $300 dollar calculator...I would buy one, but i already have a gameboy advance (lol)
That would still be cool even to just have a color screen, esspecially to program on it. Too bad a color screen has no educational purpose, therefor, TI won't make it. :(
Colored calcs...i'd call it "TI-100 Color"
Good name isn't it?

Maybe if you knew what you were doing, (not YOU specically) you could take out the old lcd, put in a colored one, then develop a comiler for the color screen, and make an entirely new OS...
Too much work. I thought it might work because people have made lcd's that light up, and even speakers, but nobody has ever independtly made an entire OS that doesn't run off the TI-OS.
Also, I don't know where you can get color screens that size, and It would be hard to put in.
Basically, I'll leave all that to the geniuses at TI.
