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.
5. Fill the indentations with glue (no more indentations!  )
6. Keep the case untill you can sell it in 100 years when it's an antique (in 10 years it will be worth nothing) and people will say "Hey, are those the kind of calculators the dinosaurs used?" |

| Cool, hey Arcane Wizard, get a Toshiba laptop. Oh yeah, hope the Ti-84+ will have better games uploaded. And it should be ported easily right? |

| *sigh* There will be no different games or porting because they will have all the same files. |

| I think the info on the site said it supports TI 83+ programs. If that's the case, no porting would be necessary. I'm sure, however, that games will be made specifically for the 84. |

| Well, the only thing they could be made specifically for is the USB link (which i doubt would be used in a game) and the clock, which would rarely be used. So I wouldn't call it "made specifically for the 84" just using the clock. |

Good point. But what I mean is that ticalc.org and what not will make a seperate section. Also, games are made for a certain model with a certain speed. That could play a factor in the 84-specific programs.
shadowing-once again, go back and read. dont be lazy and expect us to tell you everything we've been discussing. |

| O.K. wait, I don't think ticalc.org will add a new categorie duto the fact it still is the same as 83+ progs. Right? |

Look at the topic. Notice how it says "TI-84+." That is what we are discussing.
TICalc.org created new directories for the Voyage 200, which is a 92+ with more memory, when it came out. Why shouldn't they do it for the 84 series? |

If you have the source code, yes. Besides, it'll probably be similar with the 84.
Quote: Arcane Wizard what kind of laptop are you getting? Also what kind of mod is it, and what I mean by that what's the design? I haven't chosen any specific models/cases/whatever yet, but I'm trying to find one with good performance (as in equipped with a videocard that can actually draw things within a second) and at least 4/5 hours battery power.
I'd at least mod it enough to run another 30 minutes or maybe even an hour (unlikely, but who knows) longer, and put a green cathode (I haven't had a look at how much power they use, but I'd add a switch to turn them on/off so they don't eat all the power) under the keyboard, so you get this green glow from in between the keys. I'll also mod the case itself, but I haven't really seen/thought of anything I'd like to do to the case, but I've still got at least 6 months to think of something. |

They didn't do it for the SE. |

| Out of curiosity, does the Voyage 200 have a separate program type? |

| the SE? silver edition http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=edition wrote: One that closely resembles an original; a version: The boy was a smaller edition of his father. now, that said, that means that the SE is just a different edition of the 83+. in other words, the same calc, just faster.
the 84+ on the other hand, is NOT an edition of the 83+.
it is a new calculator.
and yes, i agree that you, shadowing, should be more attentive |

They didn't do it for the SE.
Voyage 200 file extensions are .v2*.
92 Plus are .9x*.
On the flip side...
83 Plus are .8x*.
83 Plus SE are .8x*.
Kinda give you an idea?

Yes, .v2*.

| The point of having separate directories for the TI-83 Plus and the TI-84 Plus is this: sure we know that they are essentially the same, but the rankest calc amatures that will make up the majority of TI-84 Plus owners don't. |

they could just say TI 83+/TI84+
and if we're talking about editions, I'd say the 84+ closely resembles the 83+. It's just two simple differences. so, just because they don't have the word EDITION in the name, that doesen't mean that 84+'s aren't editions of 83+'s |

| I think we will get tired of typing "If you have a TI-83/ TI-83+/TI-83+SE/TI-84+/TI-84+ SE, you can do such-and-such." Is there a general term for those calculators? |
