A83: TI and their Calc OSs.
Hehe cool analogy!!...well, here's my ¥2. How many people out there would
be willing to write the routines necessary to display a list of programs
that are menu selectable like the 83? Or a graph screen, or a table
system...these things are *relatively* simple (I think...Pat?), but it
takes an incredible amount of patient. Select and run a program on your
83, and think about all the assembly which must be going on..."daaaaaamn"
sound be your thoughts.
OS's like SOS are cool, but they're Windows 95 a la Ti-83...you still need
DOS. Anyone feel like writing DOS?...nah, I don't think so! This aside,
I REALLY like the idea, but I have a feeling people (if they made it) would
most likely charge for it...AND if you have multiple OS's, then
compatibility would be a problem.
I have no complaints about the current Ti-OS apart from:
1.) No scrolling Menu( support in BASIC.
2.) Has none of the solvers etc, the 82 has. (85?)
3.) Some of the graphing functions are a little awkward.
4.) All those financial functions seem redundant, IMO...
Apart from that...its an AMAZING calc, and I like the OS.
Mah, ne...that's what I think :)
