[edit] TI-84 Plus
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)
[edit] TiCalc.org
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)
[edit] 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)
[edit] 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)
- However, the TI-89 does have a better screen, more advanced interface, algebra solver, no "->" symbol...I could go on for days. --Edlin2 04:41, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 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.
[edit] 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.
- Yes, indeed, it's compatible. I've got a few TI-83 apps running on a TI-84 silver with no problems. --Edlin2 04:42, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- As a note to those asking questions directly pertaining to the calculator's use, please visit ticalc.org, listed in the external links, for information. And yes, it is compatible with TI-83+ programs.
[edit] 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??

[edit] Applications?
Should there not be a section for how to get apps on it? samphex 16:21, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Added more depth from what I previously wrote about z80 assembly. cjgone2 24 Novemember 2006
