There have been 1-2 models of TI graphing calculators just about every year in the range 1990-2004. Now, however, the TI-84 Plus and TI-89 Titanium continue to be the newest even though it has been '''2 years''' since their release. What happened?? Does TI have any plans??

Why is this called a "TI-84 Plus" without the existence of an original TI-84?? 66.32.138.124 02:22, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
I believe it's mainly to signify that it's a direct improvement over the TI-83 Plus. It's possible that some people might think that a TI-83 Plus was newer than a plain TI-84. Grunt 17:07, 2004 Jun 4 (UTC)
TiCalc.org no longer points to a useful site, so I have removed its link in the TI-84 series article. -Chrono 04:22, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Vfd for TI-84 (True or false??
True or false: somewhere in Wikipedia, the Vfd of TI-84 will be saved. (Several Vfd's of articles have already been saved, such as Talk:List of flags with one color/Delete. 66.245.93.86 22:06, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- It finally got saved. 66.245.0.62 16:58, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Bah, I still prefer the TI-89
full operating system on a calculator, vs the silliness that is the glorified TI-83 plus, I'll take fully programable OS any day, as long as I don't have to pay $180 for it (-; -- anon 03:24, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
Owning both versions of the calculator, I find that the TI-83+ OS is a lot easier to use, and less counter-intuitive than TI-89's exact feature, which often confuses a lot of people when they find that 7/3 is in fact, 7/3 (no suprise there). InvertRect 23:44, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Hardware Specifications
It would probably make sense to either add hardware specifications to the 84P page, or consolidate the 84P and 83 pages (the 83 page already has a hardware specification listing). I personally think the former makes more sense, but then again the 83 and 83P are consolidated into one page, and they're as equally different as the 83P/84P. I'd say the specification listing is especially important because the way the article is currently worded it makes it sound like the 84P (non-silver) doesn't have a USB port or clock functionality, which it does.
TI-83 Compatablity
I've been looking around for some programs for my TI-84 and I've noticed that a lot of sites with many of the other TI formats but some don't the TI-84 listed. I'm speculating that the TI-84 is compatible with TI-83 programs.
Future of TI graphing calculators
There have been 1-2 models of TI graphing calculators just about every year in the range 1990-2004. Now, however, the TI-84 Plus and TI-89 Titanium continue to be the newest even though it has been 2 years since their release. What happened?? Does TI have any plans??

Should there not be a section for how to get apps on it?
