TI Redesigns Website
Posted by Michael on 18 December 2005, 04:43 GMT

Just in time for the holidays, TI has redesigned education.ti.com. As with all of their past designs, it is interesting. As for my own personal rather pessimistic first impressions (please form your own opinion), the site appears much slower, especially pages such as this one when viewed in IE. Firefox/Opera are fine. You'll also notice the extremely annoying flicker on the top 3 blue buttons if you have IE's caching set to check for newer versions of stored pages "on every visit to the page".

I also have been having trouble finding any information about the 85, 86, 82, 83, and other calculators that are either discontinued or in limited production. They seem to have been removed completely from the Products page. Meanwhile we can only hope that "new sight" is an intentional pun.

It is also extremely disappointing to me that the only community flash application being sold through the education.ti.com store, Kirk Meyer's DAWG, is no longer (Google cache) in the listing of flash applications for the 83+/84+ series while TI's own for-sale applications remain listed as always. DAWG does remain however buried at the bottom of the Online Store for sale.
