"Not a whole lot to say other than download it when you can.  The TE
software has changed a TON!!  Looks like amazing file management
possibilities.  More stuff to figure out during the summer!
Also looking forward to the new ways to sort bar graphs!  I was
putting together TI-nspire notes for my AP Statistics class at the end
of the school year, and there was an example I was putting in that I
wanted the ability to sort alphabetically to show a point....and I
couldn't at the time.  PERFECT TIMING TI!!
What are your thoughts and impressions on the new update?"


"Slider improvements, YAY!"


Seriously, this crap makes me gag
Where was this? Was it on the Google group ?

Actually, they could be somewhat useful, just not to us. The problem is that the main "feature" of the update was the downgrade protection.

DJ, yes, sickening right?


I dont even get the big deal, teachers are allowed to wipe the memory of the calcs, to ensure no cheating OR any games. I mean geez

One thing, Qazz42, I would suggest you don't keep typing sentences in all caps, because it is generally harder to read.

Good news, TI-BANK still appears to be listed on TI website at http://education.ti.com/studentzone/france/stuff/jeux.html , even since they found out they hosted OS 1.1 and got lawyers to send a C&D letter to TI-BANK admin.

However, I spotted a mega-fail on their site. In the screenshot below, my mouse cursor was hovering on the TI-Calc.org site link ;D

(The TI-Tiltmaze one goes to TICT programs download web page at http://tict.ticalc.org/projects.html#ref_other_games . Both sites are referenced as program archives)

wow, and if you actually go to "TI-Calc.org" (notice the '-'), it's one of those weird places where they fill up the domain with stuff that looks like it's what you're searching for, like youyoube.com or something

Yeah it's either a parked domain or a squatted domain. Sites with their own domain names that shuts down, like TI-Files and TI-News, usually turns into this.

"Beware of the fact that the 2.1 version of the Nspire OS prevents downgrading to a version inferior or equal to 1.6, even though "everything you may try..." - You'd better stay on the 2.0 version of the OS."
Thanks for translating. :)

Alpha sorting = a TON of more features, and better slider support is something that should already have been included. :P

Qazz42,

did you post on any Texas Instruments pages on Facebook in the past month?

If so, did you also send a lot of invites or friend requests recently?

If not, then could this be the 2nd case of censorship on Facebook by TI?

(His FB account was deleted, too.)

Err, no, sorry DJ, I deleted my facebook 14 days before 2.1 came out, I deleted by myself, some of the friend requests that I accepted would not look goood if I applied for a job. :/


Heheh Funny, my FB's deletion was finally processed and executed on the day of OS 2.1

TI is now serious about disallowing 3rd party native code.

It is a pity that Ndless team is inactive to show TI they can't stop us easily.

Yeah, but I think they still have school, so they are probably busy with that :(

They're not students anymore, but they have full-time jobs.
And in fact, they're not completely inactive, as showed by the existence of the publicly available program that enables dumping diagnostic images even on Touchpad Nspires running OS 2.0.
