Title: New user!
Post by: Ryleh on October 25, 2013, 09:50:56 pm
I am currently in my second year of college. Switched from C.S. to C.E.
With my math(more-so engineering) heavy course-load I finally decided to upgrade from my TI-83+ to get something better suited towards physics/engineering. Now rocking a HP Prime.

Since there isn't much of a community for these yet I thought I'd join one.

That's an awesome photo! You have come to the right place, several users here have an HP Prime and are creating programs for it.
Also peanuts:

Heya and nice to see you around. Nice picture by the way :)

I personally got many calc models but the ones I use the most lately are the 83+ family (84+ and 84+CSE) and HP Prime. There is quite a big community for the HP Prime actually when it comes to help, but not much for programming yet. Hopefully it grows next school year (the calc release date missed Back-to-school by over one month).

Of course certain users here have gotten the calculator, so hopefully they create some games for it too. They are mainly experimenting for now I guess. I would like to port some HP Prime games to the 84+C Silver Edition (xLIBC) or vice-versa, although some will most likely remain Prime-only due to faster speed.

Looked around but I couldn't even find much in regard with help. Next to nothing on programs. Hopefully it picks back up before too long.

Oh I meant HP Museum forums. They have as many (if not more) messages than Omnimaga forums in a day sometimes. Most people that come there though are people who just got the calc and need help with it. That said the calculator came out 3 weeks ago. The 84+CSE came out in April and it took until September before it finally becomes popular.

That could well be the smexiest picture of two calculators I've ever seen.

It might help that the Prime is actually capable of using its screen, or at least faster than 4fps :P

Only as a hobbyist. Understand all the major stuff like aperture, shutter speed, DOF (as you put it), lighting, etc# but I'm pretty slow about putting the stuff together to get what I want. Have pulled in about 15k shots so I'm slowly getting better. I think i'm starting to get to the point where I'm more limited by my lenses then anything else. All I have right now is a Nikon D40 w/ the stock 18-55mm lense(?).

Hola! And that pic is pretty nice, you must work for HP  ^-^
If I worked for HP I'd probably know how to work this thing. :P


Dare I ask, what's with all the peanuts?
