depending on your Computer's OS, there area number of emulators you can use to emulate a calculator, or you could download TI-Graphlink (which includes the ability to program on your computer)
basically, you're better off using the calc... you will get used to the keys eventually :) |

Edit | TI-Graphlink will not run under 2000, or XP, because those operating systems don't use or support DOS in a way that TI-Graphlink needs to use it. I have 2000 and it refuses to use it, so I use my laptop, which has 98 on it...Anyone running xp is forced to use TI-Connect... |

Total Posts: 939 | I don't know what you're talking about TI Freak, GraphLink doesn't use DOS at all... Now, it *DOES* need direct access to the COM ports, which is why TI Connect installs that special service for it... But it most certainly does work. |

Edit | Hmm, I have tried to install on said systems, and it didn't work. Bah, must be my bad luck with computers... Heck, I know it is if I can blow out 2 harddrives in 24 hours... :angry: Sometimes, I hate technology... or it hates me... |

Total Posts: 507 | yeah, thats the big thing about XP... it doesnt run off of DOS, like the 9x series did, but it can use DOS if it needs to... thats why when you go to a site that shows you your OS version, it tells you that you have NT...(6.x i think, but im probably wrong on that one...)
