this game looks likeit is great. If I only had an 89......

Well, go get one. In my school, you have to get one in order to take Calculus class. hehe

It is rediculous to have a TI-89 as a requirement for calculus. Kids should be able to choose whether they want to use a graphing calulator or not. And they definately shouldn't require something so expensive.

Oh well, it seems to me my high school is the only school in the whole Fort Bend ISD (http://www.fortbend.k12.tx.us) that requires you to get a TI-89 for the Calculus class. That is because my school is in the wealthiest district and everyone has to pay higher taxes than other districts. damnit!

what High School is it? I went to Kempner and we never even got to play w/ the 2 TI-92 the school had when I took Calculus.

I don't think it has anything to do with that. I believe it has to do with teachers. And if several teachers agree on something, others teachers in the same school have to go along. In the school I attend in Upstate New York, nobody at all uses graphing calculators, except maybe in the really advanced AP and IB classes. This is eventhough it's a pretty high tax paying school. At the international school I attend in Vienna, I belive everyone must have at least a graphing calculator by either 8th or 9th grade, and scientific calculators are frowned on, just like graphing claculators are at my Upstate New York school. That is because all the teachers in Vienna have agreed on this. In Upstate New York, I think their afraid that they will destroy math, because they give you all the answers. I think this is not true at all, because you still have to show what you're doing on paper. I won't get any points if I just put down the answer to a quadratic equation, if I don't show work. I think acceptence of graphing calculators will increase over time, especially if more student bring them in and inform teachers about their good side.

Oh, I am gonna graduate next year, so it is really a waste of money to buy a TI-89 in my senior year. Oh well, but it gives you a great adavantage on Calculus AP test!!

It makes a great alternative to a Gameboy as well! :) In fact many people have said that my TI-92 Plus looks like a Sega Game Gear, because of that blue arrow thing.

No one at your school should make you buy a graphing calculator for a school course. It's just not right. They should supply them-not you.

on HW2 AMS 2.05 it runs fine but if you load on the ticpro is freezes.

it wasn't tested on 2.05. thats y it won't work.

Why do you think it wasn't tested on AMS 2.05?
It was definitely tested under AMS 2.05 running on a HW2 calc and works fine for the beta testing crew.

Once again, archive all the programs, then it will. This goes for all v. 2.03 games I've checked out on v. 2.05.

Well, TI-Chess 2.01 works fine in AMS 2.05, 2.04, 2.03...and....etc.

Thanx Nick. There was almost no time between uploading and being available.
And as I have seen it gots into the POTM again ;-)
Now I can go to bed "peacely" (<-- sorry for my english). Its about 4:00 in the morning here in Austria ...

Please don't answer: rest in peace .... that would be too simple ... =8-)

can't wait to get off work now...
...thanks, this is a much needed neccesity for my Ti-89!

"peacefully..." :)

Anyway, no problem. I knew it was coming out tonight, but there was a worry that I would be out when you fired the email at me. I wasn't. You couldn't have caught me at a better time. :)

Took a little longer for the news item, tho :\

Did anyone else notice the "Purple Monkey Dishwasher" text in the ALT attribute of the image tag?

Yes, yes I did!

Thomas deserves his rest, him and the beta testers (I am one of them) spent a long time on this game. I espically, I tried out other special beta versions to help rid the game of the evil HW2 bug that we found. But in the end we got it fixed and you REALLY REALLY NEED TO CHECK THIS ONE OUT!!! The graphics are the best so far from the TI Chess Team. SO go Download your copy of TI-Chess 3.00 today and get to playing, cause this is best chess game out there for the TI-Calculators.

TI-99?

this a very old home computer that ran on an z80 with a BASic os

Are you sure? I think it is just a typo!! I wish my TI-89 is called TI-2000 Pro or TI-ME (Millennium Edition) :-p

he is right, search for it on yahoo once
