The proportions might be a bit long and narrow for a tombstone, but it's an interesting idea. Maybe I should put that in my will. :-) Here's the original in all its glory: http://www.palantir.net/2001/tma1/pics/dawn06.jpg -- Wayne Brown <fwbrown(a)bellsouth.net> (HPCC #1104) ??s ofereode, ?isses swa m?g.

Maybe I should put that in my will. :-) That new calc should have on the back graven text: "Wayne Brown" "R.I.P." What do think of the color? Black? No Way(ne) Brown? :-D > Here's the original in all its glory: > > http://www.palantir.net/2001/tma1/pics/dawn06.jpg Too thin...the apes look like Bruce Wayne
From: Yao Konan on 29 Oct 2006 08:52 Hi, You know we are talking of TI.The same company which has never be able to take full advantage of the TI68k hardware. For example: *The TI92 could have been much faster for number crunching with the appropriate algorithm. *The CAS could also has been more powerful or able to solve more complex problems without the memory limitations. *The hardware was designed to support up to 2 MB of RAM yet none of the TI68k has more than 256 KB,etc... So i have some reasons to believe that TI could waste the potential of the TI-NSpire hardware.

From: JT on 29 Oct 2006 10:16 That's also what I understand from the official page at TI's website... the CAS of the NSpire is not much different from that of the TI - 89 / 92 calculators. The rumor was that this was to be a much more powerful device, with the entire 'Derive' software package in a handheld device. If that was so, I would have expected at least a hint of such a thing on TI's page for the NSpire. 'Derive' on a handheld calculator would give HP a run for its money and you'd think TI would advertise that! If the only real 'quantum leap' is more memory, faster clock speed, higher resolution screen, and more integrated OS..... then that's really no 'quantum leap' at all, except for students maybe. Time will tell, the NSpire is not to be released for another year yet. JT Jean-Yves Avenard wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Howard Owen wrote: > > You could be right.
