Can any TI calc Equation Edit??!!

[Steve Simpkin]

I was about to respond to a post that was in response to my smiling comment on that the old, slow processors and small memory used in some of TI's graphing calculators must be the cause of their relativly high price, when the post disappeared?

The post had commented that TI now uses ASICs to implement the descrete processors, memory and logic chips that they used to use to build their graphing calculators. After all, that is their core business and they are really experts at integration and cost reduction. I am sure they use modern production methods to reduce costs as well.

If find it interesting that the TI 83 Plus with a 6MHz Z80, 32K of RAM, no USB and a 96x64 B/W display still sells for $100 at Walmart 15 years after it was introduced.
Must still be paying for the IP on that Z80 architecture
