Total Posts: 29 | I just found my old CASIO calc from 1999 and guess what...
It has a color screen!!!
orange,green,and blue plus black!!!
so... why do we still play with our TI-83+'s and 86's
CASIO's backwards programming language is at fault.
if they had used a BASIC type of language then color might have caught on.
think about phoenix and FF:TOM in color well almost...
it brings a tear to my eye that TI is still in the good old B&W but could be in RGB and black....

BASIC flames are for n00bs, you don't want to be a n00b do you? | My other calc is a Porsche. |

Edit | it does make things easier to see.
There are some programs on ticalc.org that put blue lines on the ti93+. But it can wreck your calc. But it is in color...

Total Posts: 321 | I got about 10 - 15 emails rom people demanding thats those be removed from ticalc.org! I was like, "read the description it says it will ruin your calculator!" If anything was to be done wit hte programs like that I would say remove the compiled program and let only the really desperate put the compiled program on their calc to test it out. Who knows some day the source of this program could lead to some color break through or something. |

Total Posts: 958 | My friend has a color Casio. Guess what he lost and bought another of though? The 83+. The Casio does have color, but in terms of the ease of using the OS and doing math, TI calculators is generally superior to Casio. The color screen implementation was pretty poor anyways, it was pretty much only good for graphs. Also programs for it were weak and few.
Well, if u want a color screen, go get a PDA. |
