It doesn't mean anything significant. It just means it's new - and colorful.
Now lets
look over the last 6 years - whats the number #1 in retail sales? IBM PCs and
IBM clones.
Now lets look at calculators - my friend has an HP, im not sure which one it
is, but it
can differentiate and integrate. We refer to this friend as the Alien, because
I can't
concieve a human using it without severe problems. It's just too wierd.
The TI-89 however is easier to use - I mean, it only took me an hour to figure
out how to
use the on button.
