First 83+: LCD Screen Died, didn't send it in to fix because the $50 discount repair offer scared me
Second 83+: In existance
First 83+ S.E.: Met kid thought the d@mn thing was broken. Turns out screen was set to lightest contrast and batts were dead
First 84+: Came to Korea. I really didn't intend on going to school here and I ended up going to school here (stayin for a year). I asked my mom if she could send my 83+ over and she said that it wouldn't arrive when I needed it so my aunt brought me an 84+.
... I just realized how much I gave my money to TI. Day-um, I shoulda just brought an Xbox 360
"Not long ago, the Black Gate of Armonk swung open. The lights went out, my skin crawled, and dogs began to howl. I asked my neighbor what it was and he said, 'Those are the nazgul. Once they were human, now they are IBM's lawyers.'"

I also have a 84+ SE (I love the SEs)
Yeah, the se's are nice, but the lcd drivers can be a pain. Also, more Ram would have been nice. Even a little would help. You can't really use the whole archive up because it takes up too much of the ram, so many programs won't run.
Sigma (CSX) and Darth Android from UTI (DragonOS) are/were working on OSes, they're the only ones I know of. Both OSes seem to be deader than a doornail on the door to a crypt in an abandoned cemetery in Death Valley (no offense to either author, making an OS is most definitely not an easy task).
CSX v0.27 beta - the latest version of CSX that I found.
Actually, I think someone was working along on one a little while back. He was pretty far along, but then TI sent him a letter threatening to sue him or something because he was using some of the code from their OS. I remember reading it somewhere. Probably on UTI. Because of that he stopped.

83, 83+, 83+SE and a 89
i want to get an 86 because they are the best, but i have too many as it is
When I got my 89Ti, my brother got my 86. What do you mean they are the best? Then again, I'm bad at ASM programming without ION because I rely so much on writeback.
My 89-BASIC RPG is not working out at all. I don't feel like learning all the special differences between 83+ BASIC and 89-BASIC so I'm going to just continue learning C, forget about programming during classes, and write a C version so I'd have nice greyscale. Can someone clarify as to whether HW3 on 89Ti will support greyscale? And which C libraries include nice greyscale funtions?
I voted 83, 83+ and 84+. Actually I don' t have an 83, but my older sis does, and I have used it too in the past, so I thought I could vote that one as well. Then, my old trusty 83+, which I've coded and played games on for 2 years... Ah, the good times we've been through together... And the bad times... Actually, now that I think about it, there were more bad times than good times... Ah nevermind. My younger sister uses it now. And then, my new 84+, don't worry, my precious, I'll protect you... Gollum, gollum...
. 128KB, but TI was too lazy to make a new OS..
