Comment on Why the TI-83 sucks… by Brian

Just tried this out on my TI-83 Plus, and while the only way I could find the hyperbolic trig functions is through the catalog (like you said), you don’t have to scroll all the way through the list to get to them.

Use the alphabetic keys once in the catalog to skip ahead. For example, hit the LN button (natural log) to get to the S’s (sinh is not too far into the list), hit PRGM to get to the C’s for cosh, etc…

Of course they are included with Windows 7, but you may want to try a Google Image search.

Apple Safari takes more resources compared to Opera and Firefox. sometimes it also freezes so i would still stick to Opera.

I picked up a used HP-49g off of Craigslist. Although it’s slow (the TI-83 Plus graphs much faster), the calculus operations are great. It will differentiate and it will integrate both definite and indefinite integrals… plus a whole lot more that I haven’t even started to tap into! I think I may invest in an HP-50g which is much faster than the 49g. Though I’m still getting used to the RPN (which can be disabled), the stack is very useful!

Although I have neither to test personally, I’m told Opera 10.0 and the latest Google Chrome are now reaching 100/100 on the Acid3 test too. Looks like it’s catch-up time, Firefox!
