Software Not Made by TI, But Teachers Use.
Well I never thought that people would know much about ticalc.org (other than us cool people ^_^), but at my college they have VTI on all the math lab computers. I think it is cool and funny!
Well PTI is great and all, but they need a visual representation of a calc (though CoBB is working on that). That's just in the Lab though, as the classes have a projector type of camera called Elmo2? Idk, but they are hooked up to a projector on the ceiling and the computer, and of course it works as a t.v. also!
true, that keyboard is usefull, and being able to realistically display grayscale probably isn't high on their priority list.kalan_vod wrote:Well PTI is great and all, but they need a visual representation of a calc (though CoBB is working on that).

In my school ti-connect is installed on some of the computers, but when you plug the cable in, it doesn't install the drivers because you're not an admin.
For showing the calc screen at my school, they have that see-through screen that plugs into a calc, and they put it on top of an overhead projector. I always wondered, what would happen if you ran one of the blue-screen programs while hooked up to that display screen.

Because VTI doesn't work with anything after 1.12....kalan_vod wrote:They have the ROMs in the VTI folder, I could've done anything to them if I wanted. And the thing is they are all like 1.12 for 83+ and what not. Maybe they have a deal with TI?
In all likelyhood, different departments would own them, so it's still illegal. kalan, I would tell your lab assistant to tell his higherups to consult a lawyer before TI comes around here and pokes over their way.Spengo wrote:If they have that many actual calculators (which they probably do- check the chemistry lab) it isn't illegal. We do the same thing for unreal tournament 2004 in my computer club. We bought enough copies to be legal, installed it once and copied the image to all the machines.
I really doubt that TI is going to come and give them legal trouble. If the school owns as many calculators as they have emulators, then they really couldn't get into legal trouble, at least not easily. Even if TI found out about it, which I doubt they would, they probably wouldn't have much reason to go after the school legally.AndySoft wrote:In all likelyhood, different departments would own them, so it's still illegal. kalan, I would tell your lab assistant to tell his higherups to consult a lawyer before TI comes around here and pokes over their way.

That's what the last school to get busted said.
