| The general population of users won't know they're pretty much the same. Of course people will buy one. And if you couldn't tell, some here will be doing the same. |

| True. Just like how people think Intel Pentium is the best processor, it is not. Go AMD Athlon 64 FX!! |

| And how many commercials or whatever do you see for AMD? Intel used to be advertised like crazy a few years back. That's why people have heard of it so much. |

Just wondering...
If you run a lower-level calc game (let's say a game for the 83+) and run it on a higher-quality calc (let's say the 83+ SE or 84), does it run faster? I mean ASM games btw, because I know BASIC games run twice as fast. |

| I believe it should run faster. I don't know for sure, I'm not an expert. |

| I think there some kinda thing you have to put in the program to tell it you want ot run it faster. |

So that the 8xp's won't run on the 84, or 84p's won't run on an 83? In the first case, no one would buy the 84, in the second no one would program for it. |

| Yea, you wouldn't need a different extension because they are 100% compatible. |

Except for the clock.
I found a Time command in the catalog on my 83+ SE. What does it do? |

| Hey the prog. will run faster in reality. Do you have the catalog help for the SE? With it you could press + to find out what the heck it does. I hope the 84 will be very very cool looking with a metal case. |

It's a format in sequence graphing mode.

Yes, I mean it's not like nobody wanted to buy the 83+ because it's programs wouldn't work on the normal 83. Oh wait. |

1) Most basic programs work the same on 83 and 83+.
2) Asm can be ported easily.
3) The change from an 83 to an 83+ was important - archive. The change from say an 83+ SE to an 84+ SE is just a cooler look, a better display, and a link port probably incompatible with all others.

I would just find out that it doesn't require any arguments.

I don't think the outer cases add a lot to the looks of a calculator. As a matter of fact, I'd prefer it if the calculators didn't have cases in the first place. |

If that is true, then here's a procedure that will make your dream come true:
1. Take the case off of your claculator.
2. Throw it away. |

3. Have ugly indentations in the sides of my calculator.
4. Lose the "Mathcounts" painted in red on the cover which might enable me to sell it for more in 10 years or so. |

100% compatible means TI-83+ to TI-84+ not the other way around!

so when somebody programmed on his 84 and created an 84p file no one could play it? That would really discrourage programmers wouldn't it? |
