Hulk12 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yes! You heard it right. I, Hulk12 am the proud owner of a TI-89 Titanium Graphing Calculater. The finest and most exspensive piece of caluculating equipment Best Buy had to offer. 179.99 dollars of..... my Dad's money :). Spec's: Now It's time for some sweeeeeeet App's and such. This is where I need some help. Can anybody suggest some sites for some killer apps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I thought I was special when I got my TI-83 for ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã40... :? Never could be bothered getting the cable for my PC though. Notoriously Trollish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulk12 Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Ya the TI-89 was the only one I found with the USB and Peer to Peer cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 You are kidding. That much money to do sums on? Are you mad?!?! This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterxman Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I hope you're taking some really advanced mathematics or engineering classes because the TI83 is still very good, and someone who's doing math shouldn't rely too much on a calculator's applications.

Korla Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 wow :) I loove spaced up calclulators...wouldn't spend anything on them, my TI-83 serves me well enough for now...but wow :P haha 3D-graphing eeh? does it do coloured lines? I want one which does coloured lines hehe :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulk12 Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 This beast will be used for more than just sums. It will be my PDA of sorts... I can take notes, graph diagrams, use it as a planner, use it as a text editor, etc.. The possibilites are endless. Btw the TI-83 was 109 dollars so the TI-89 just seemed like the better choice. Anyway does anybody know some good apps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromagus Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I have no idea, but my friend Google might know... Anyway, I could think of a few ways I'd rather spend the extra money, the TI-83 I got four years ago still works fine for me...

Greatsilverwyrm Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I got the TI-84+ Silver Edition last year.. I love it.. As for apps/programs, the best and really only place I know of is ticalc.org. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exarch Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Here TI-89s are banned from high school (maybe even some college) math courses, because they are too powerful :shock: I just have an 83 Plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punk4ever Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Here TI-89s are banned from high school (maybe even some college) math courses, because they are too powerful :shock: I just have an 83 Plus. Same. I actually discussed this in the "cheating topic" that most schools won't allow you to use it. The AP test does not allow the 89s either. It's nice, but just does everything for you almost.

Exarch Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I'd like to get some games on my calc to play in between classes or while waiting for the bus etc, once I find out how. I wouldn't play them during class though- last semester in physics, there were always 2-5 people playing games the entire class. While trying to listen to the teacher you here this rapid tapping of the buttons the whole time.. It's very annoying, but the teacher seems to be oblivious to it.

How2PK Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I believe that in Havo and Vwo (our school system) you must have one of those, so it isn't really special, if you ask me. :P I don't know where you can get all the stuff though. But they're pretty cool, you can play games on them etc. Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!

Hulk12 Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 How to get games on your TI: 1. Download TI Connect 2. Update your TI with the latest OS and Bios 3. Download a game (http://www.ticalc.org/pub/89/basic/) 4. Once you have the game saved to your desktop drag and drop it on the TI Connect Icon 5. Once the game as been installed open up the command line on your TI and type the full name of the game and press enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 ok I put tetris on it... thats like 2 minutes of fun. blasphomey! may the tetris gods have mercy on your soul. :evil: tetris is freaking awesome. ive been playing that for like 50 years now, ive played it about 2 billion times. i love tetris. other people used to watch me play it during computer class, doing wierd things that you normally dont think of doing, and just holding the down button during the first few levels while flipping the pieces around. make sure you get a tetris where the down button just makes it go down faster, not instantly. that can screw you up bad.

Demeige Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I stole a graphing calculator from my teacher 8) And you CAN still use the calculator itself without the need for a computer right?... :?
