HP did not make adequate 50g replacement. As for me I don't care about exams. I need modern programmable device. NSpire at least has Ndless (though against TI will), but u can easily reset it rebooting device. And no global disaster happened with TI and their exam mode !

At least give us features which would compensate restrictions. I need walk on expressions (x*2+5 => {+ {* X 2} 5}), i need to draw expressions on GROB in textbook format. I need efficiently read and write files on disk: AFiles OK, but it would be too inefficient to read(write) whole list in one shot, also it would be cool to position cursor inside file. I also like to have access to programs, write program writing programs, etc. Where is programmable alert, and customizable START program ?

I am not student, its not my fault. I am working professional, why do u punish me ?

Best regards

What TW is saying is just to stay away from exam mode routines. One evil person could easily replace small comparisons and things to bypass exam mode (imagine you see a document how to bypass your atm password, even if is an isolated case gen population loses trust on that mechanism), since the firmware upload is not encripted/signed. Nothing to do with the calculator capabilities, after all the scope for the prime was already defined.

OK, I'll get off my soapbox now :-)
