Hi calculator collectors,
I mentioned already that the TI-Nspire is available in Europe.
I must have missed that. Where can they be purchased?

Mine arrived and I disassembled one of them immediately.
It is based on LSI LOGIC's ZEVIO architecture and features tons of memory for the Operating system, Files and User data.
But I'm sure the question most potential users want answered is 'is it powerful enough for a decent port of DOOM?'

Booting after power-up takes 30 seconds when you switch between the keyboards...
Wow! Faster than XP then ;-)

I like the screen size. But it really is a pig-ugly thing.
But at least trig and exponential functions are 'primary', unlike the 89
How are they keys? they look a bit rubbery.

Joerg,
I feel you are truly blessed since you can read the German manuals of the TI NSpire. I think we need the manual(s) for a machine like the TI Nspire since I don't think it's trivial to operate and more importantly program.
I am very glad that you are attending HHC2007 and will be giving a talk. I think it's very open minded to have someone of your caliber and commitment to calculators be present. Rest assured that you will be among friends.
I am very much interested in buying one or two (not to mention possibly one for my son) TI NSpire. TI has done a good job marketing their graphing calculators. I think the Nspire software will be nice to use too.
