TI Launches Three New Graphing Calculators

confusedneutrino writes "Texas Instruments has announced 3 new graphing calculators to be available later this year. The TI-84 Plus and TI-84 Plus Silver Edition will be available this spring and are essentially the TI-83 Plus/SE, respectively, in a new case and with USB support. (The TI-84 Plus does sport a 15 MHz processor, compared to the TI-83 Plus' 6 MHz, though.) The TI-89 Titanium will be available in the summer and features 3x the available ROM of the 'old' TI-89 and will also have USB capability. Looks to me like a Voyage 200 minus QWERTY. I personally don't feel an inclination to upgrade at all..."

The All-New TI-89: Now 5 times faster than regular calculators!

I don't understand.

Bloody hell, why must the urge to change the numbers of those calculators like that?

WHY CANNOT THE NEW ONE BE LIKE 94?

I don't want to remember that 83 is older than 86, but 83 plus silver-balls is never, and also faster.

I hate this. Same thing with everything. Hell, we couldn't stick to mhz, but we had to begin with 2200+ and so on.

At least those keep on incrementing.

Let me be the first to say...

That they can have my HP 48GX when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers. And even then, I'm not so sure...

Back in *my* day, we were only allowed to bring in some beans on strings. And only the yuppies could affor that. The rest of us had to carry a bucket of dirt, and make little piles on our desks. And we were THANKFUL!

Have you any idea how hard it is to compute logarithms by counting grains of dirt?

Kids these days! Sheesh!
