STARCRAFT...that should've been on the list...hehehehe

Mabey this poll should say: Has a third party site such as ticalc.org OR tinews.net influenced you to buy a calc from TI??
How many?

Great idea, especially in light of the tinews.net controversy.

P.S. Bill Gates' daughter lives in my building!

By "Bill Gates" I mean TI's Bill Gates, not Microsoft's.

I doubt Microsoft's Bill Gates' daughter would live in an apartment building(/dormitory?) - she'd have her own small mansion.

Derive Rocks. And remember that we have an adapted Derive version in our TI89/92. Anyway, it is very old, except the new one, the derive 5. TI must optimize the derive code anyway.

Where's the option for "Never heard of any of these programs"??? Or maybe I've just spent 99% of my existence living in a box under the stairs in the corner of the basement of the house half a block down the street from Jerry's Bait Shop... You know the place...

-Fil and his shiny $0.02

Then i live in the box across the room from you.

I'll give you my shiny $0.02 if you can figure out where that's from...

-Fil and his shiny $0.02

I... HATE... SAUERKRAUT!!

"Alberquerque", by Al Yankovic, from the CD "Running With Scissors". Thank you.

::collects his two cents::

excuse me?
i believe those are mine!

Sorry pal, he got 'em. You just said you hated saurkraut, that didn't tell me anything about the song. Maybe you just hate saurkraut, how would I know?

-Fil without his shiny $0.02

There is no song called "Alberquerque" on that CD. But, there IS a song titled "Albuquerque". ahh... <strokes chin conspiratorially>

Never even heard of these programs

i think i am going to start using maple, i think there was some mention of it at my college orientation concerning the engineering dept. or maybe it was oak or elm. i cant remember. therere calculus classes that use computer instead of calc, but i dont kbow which programns they use, im not in any of those classes

Phoenix is downloaded more often than QUAD8x... Calc gamers lurk here.

Well I tried Derive, Mathematica and Maple. Derive (DOS version) is the most practical, it can fit on single 360 K floppy (!). I used it even on 8086 machines without hard disc ten years ago.

However, after I decided to stop using pirated software, I downloaded MuPad (www . mupad . de) which is free for students and teachers. (To be honest, teaching is not my primar job, but I am also university assistant.)

Today is my first day of college. I just moved in yesterday. I have never heard of any of these programs, but they seem like they could be really useful in my math class. Where can I get them and are they free?

Try Studyworks by Mathsoft [they make Mathcad] Easy to use, cheap.

n!

better yet ... learn FORTRAN

If you need free maple clone visit www.mupad.de and download MuPad.
Trial version of Derive is available on TI site.
