D-59 === Subject: Re: Ti-89 ROM - Need ROM Image - not update > OK. So how about a description of how to do this. Sure. So, you've got a ROM file (it may have a file type of .rom, .bin, .dmb, .tib, or .89u) on your hard drive. Make sure it's for a classic TI89, not a Titanium. (Don't worry; the user interface and functionality is virtually identical.) How'd you get that file there? I dunno. And you've got vti version 2.5 beta 5 installed. When you start up vti, it asks you for a ROM. Tell it that you already have a ROM on your hard drive. Click the Add button, then navigate to the directory where the ROM file is stored. The .89u file extension is not included by default in the file filter, but rest assured, if you modify the filter to include *.89u, and open the .89u file, it will work. Open the file, click Next followed by Finish in the ROM wizard, and presto! The virtual TI89 is running. Press the ON key to start things up. You'll probably have to adjust the contrast in order to be able to see anything clearly. (That's done by repeatedly pressing the followed by the plus key.) === Subject: Re: Ti-89 ROM - Need ROM Image - not update <434246b8@duster.adelaide.on.net> <4343783b@duster.adelaide.on.net> === Subject: MyCalcDB.free.fr : Pocket Calculators Database Take a look at http://MyCalcDB.free.fr it a database about pocket calculators.

It's nice that the problem's solved with a newer release, but will HP swap out my friend's calculator with a newer model? He said he purchased it 6 to 9 months ago (not from HP). The S/N is CN3212xxxx which would seem to indicate that the unit is probably 2 years old. What reason would he give HP for wanting a replacement, that his calculator is slow? Would HP accept that and not give him any problem? He could be a new satisfied HP customer or back to being an old TI one, depending on the outcome.

Several people mentioned that platinum is slow.

I can understand not using coprighted software, but a problem I have had is using or modifying software that is no longer being sold or supported by the originlal producer. The company still holds the copyright,and and has no intention of ever supporting it or getting any money for it but will not allow mdification etc. They are holding it in limbo. Harold A.

Rather, make new that is better than old in every way, rather than making a few steps back for every step forward. I did see that the 12c platinum has been updated--it now has a backspace key (as well it should--the old 12C was archaic with the lack of that feature!) and so there is progress and I am far more sanguine about the future of HP calculators now than I was back in 2002 and Now, if they could only figure out how to make calculators that automatically solve the world's problems, without user input ;-) === Subject: Re: Decimal point better on HP-33S CNA0527+ > hello, >> 42 should be rebuild > I thought that the 15C should be rebuild! darn, you should make up your > mind :-) > cyrille simple: 15 [ENTER] 43 [ + ] Where is our hp 58 === Subject: Updated PPC CD #4 Version 1.1 : Australian Newsletters & Calculator Conferences 1979-99 obtain the four missing issues of the Newsletter of PPPM Inc. & CHHU Sydney to complete the scanned set on PPC CD #4.
