![]() ![]() HP's did infrared communications whereas TI typically requires a physical cable to "network" between devices. Of course any smart phone today could run Derive in a DOS emulator and probably still have enough cycles left over to play Angry Birds, but that would make math "too easy." Can't have that.įunny story: Talked to a physics teacher (high school level) ages ago in a school where they standardized on HP's line rather than TI's. Far better to keep them busy doing busy work. Finagle forbid they actually spend braincycles on solving a problem and leave the arithmetic to something that's designed to crunch numbers quickly and correctly. Anything with a radio is verboten as a matter of course, and likewise anything "too powerful" isn't allowed. Because teachers are paranoid the chill'ins will cheat in class.
