Title: Do you plan to purchase an Nspire CX?
Post by: mikehill2003 on April 12, 2011, 11:47:37 am: Although there are several things I don't like about the CX, I'm seriously considering selling some of the calcs I don't really need (TI-83, TI-89) and getting a CX CAS. Anyone else?
Title: Re: Do you plan to purchase an Nspire CX?
Post by: Munchor on April 12, 2011, 11:48:42 am: I may buy it, but only after it has been unlocked, and will use it to replace my NSpire Touchpad.

Sell your Ti-89? Forget it man! Bad choice, bad choice. :P
That calculator is the best calc in the world! (Ofcourse you may do what you want :P)

If you sell it, you won't be able to try MYST 89 when it comes out. How sad would that be? :P

I don't have any games on my TI-89, I just used it for math last year. :P

I just looked at your screenshots for MYST89, that's extremely impressive. :thumbsup:

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on April 12, 2011, 01:29:51 pm: I don't think I'll buy one yet. Maybe when it's unlocked, but for now I'm fine with my Casio Prizm.

It was not very stable, indeed. Maybe it could be done for the CX, with 89 with colours!!!

@Stefan: MYST with colours.

But I'd prefer a 83+ with emulator, even if no colours.

I'd a buy a CX right away.

I think MYST CX might be possible. But the thing is CYAN(the creator of myst) might sue the one who makes it because the whole game might fit on that calculator(no demo). Since I noticed that there excist myst demo for the ipod, I don't think i'll get sued because mine is a demo, which means they can't loose anything, just gain fame.
But yeah... MYST might look very pretty on the cx(and on the prism).

@Ashbad: You will never buy a calculator from TI, because they're locking them down? So you'll never buy a ti 89?/me cries :P

We don't get them free around here... I may get one for Christmas.
Title: Re: Do you plan to purchase an Nspire CX?
Post by: TIfanx1999 on April 13, 2011, 08:43:35 am: Voted the bottom option. I'm very dissapointed in TI for locking down the Nspire and putting a shitty LCD in the original NSpires. They've done a lot wrong with them and don't deserve my monies. :P
Title: Re: Do you plan to purchase an Nspire CX?
Post by: Yeong on April 13, 2011, 08:45:17 am: I think I will just wait until the price drops and then buy it :P

I agree totally. So I'll stick with Casio Prism and maybe buy the Classpad when they come out with one that has a color screen.

Post by: ralphdspam on April 13, 2011, 08:50:27 pm: If the Lua programming scene progresses, I will most likely buy a CX over the summer. :)

I was pretty happy to see the news.

Post by: ruler501 on April 13, 2011, 08:53:04 pm: I wonder how the colors with that will work.
I'm going to get one if I have enough money after getting a uberGraphX and Scout trips
Title: Re: Do you plan to purchase an Nspire CX?
Post by: ralphdspam on April 13, 2011, 08:55:35 pm: I think that is the biggest reason I would get the CX. Colors. :hyper:

I hope TI does not mess the programming up badly, though.
Title: Re: Do you plan to purchase an Nspire CX?
Post by: ruler501 on April 13, 2011, 08:56:48 pm: They'll probably add something to it to prevent us from using the Lua.
Maybe that is why they released 3.0 before the CX to see if we could hack the programming

Yeah, they did something awesome. I'm reasonably sure they knew we'd find it. Otherwise, the tns might need to be signed before it ran a script.

Title: Re: Do you plan to purchase an Nspire CX?
Post by: mikehill2003 on April 13, 2011, 09:02:48 pm: I'm pretty sure the person who made it would've thought of that before putting it in a production OS. TI's had plenty of experience locking down products. Don't forget the new 2048-bit key. We stood no chance of cracking even the 1024-bit key, but they still changed it.

Title: Re: Do you plan to purchase an Nspire CX?
Post by: m1ac4 on April 15, 2011, 07:29:49 am: I might buy a CX eventually just to say I have one but I'm quite content to stay with the Prizm. In fact, I will stay with the Prizm (but I'm glad to see some real potential with the CX).

Hahahahahahah!

Back to topic, if we manage to code ARM in the NSpire, how hard would making a PRIZM Emu be?
