Wow. The single click to get to the full emulator from that homepage is an awesome, refreshing thing to see. Seems like a great calculator (and company) to standardize on. I don't even hate TI, but this thing is clearly far more advanced than the TIs I grew up on.

If the 84+ was $40 by now I would feel differently, but I think TI could have at least built something like the Numworks (with things like real fraction notation easier menus, and a lighted color screen) if they wanted to continue charging the same price now as they did 25 years ago for what was then a pretty respectable piece of tech for its time. Instead they did that innovation but only on calculators too overpowered to be allowed on tests, and left that market with a stagnant TI-8x series.
