quick question, what was the os for the ti-nspire before the 2.1?
were there drawbacks from getting them
i currently have 1.1 (thank god Ebay)
-
the previous OS was 2.0, though Nleash helps this sort of thing if you don't want to bother finding it ;D
-
2.0. I think you can safely install it without any bad side effects.
Or just use 1.7.

why would i need nleash?
2.0. I think you can safely install it without any bad side effects.

so whats diff. between 1.7 and 2.0?
-
In case you want to install 2.1 because you can't find 2.0
As for the difference between 1.7 and 2.0, there are some interface changes, along with the "scratchpad", IIRC
-
so what os are you guys on?
-
I personally don't have an Nspire, actually :P
-
interesting, who does?
-
me. I have os 2.0.0.1188
-
I had the 2.0.1 OS, but I recently changed it back to 1.1 (for Ndless), because I needed to use it for some ARM coding stuff.
Here are the OSes that I recommend:
-1.1 - For Ndless.
-2.1 - Because it's the latest version.
-1.7 - If you don't like the look of the 2.x OSes or if you don't want to have the 2.54MP OS on the 84+ emu.
-
I recommend 1.7 unless you need 1.1. No one needs the new features in 2.x anyway, and the 2.x series is a lot bigger than the 1.x series. Actually, keeping your calculator at 1.1 is not unbearable, unless you make extensive use of the Nspire's BASIC abilities or can't stand the power bug.
-
1.6 is the best, the TI-84+SE keypad is the most stable in that OS
-
Same as bwang: I recommend 1.7 unless you need another version:
* 1.1 for Ndless (for now, that is);
* 2.0 / 2.0.1 / 2.1 only if your school forces you to use documents written by these versions. TI made documents backwards incompatible with older OS versions, presumably as a ways to force OS upgrades that add more functionality (and bloat) and fix exploitable vulnerabilities.
-
Doesn't newer versions eat batteries less faster, though? I noticed a drastic improvement from 1.6 to 1.7, but I did not pay much attention about 2.0.1 (what I got) compared to 1.7.
