So, we have Apple who is paranoid about people installing legally purchased copies of its operating system on non-Apple labelled machines. Just when you thought it couldn't get any more ridiculous than that, we have a hardware company trying to prevent people from installing operating systems on its hardware. Wait, what?

...frankly the golden age of TI hacking and coding is long over.
Pretty much yeah... I recall hacking apps for the Prosit kernel on Ti 68k, that was fun.

what incentive does he have to even discover that games and apps can be run on his low-resolution monochromatic calculator, much less dive in and learn Z80 assembly (or even TI BASIC)
Well actually there are still some rare people making demos on Ti calcs...
hopefully we'll get some at the Alchimie 2k9!

Something tells me that these are people who either learned Z80 by programming Spectrums or CPCs in their youth or who are holdovers from the golden age of TI hacking. New kids just aren't coming into the scene as fast as older folks are leaving it.

...frankly the golden age of TI hacking and coding is long over. The simultaneous rise of near-universal cellphone ownership among middle and high school age North Americans has seen to that and the massive increase in capabilities that those phones have has done more to hurt the ability of TI hackers to do new and cool things ever could. After all, once little Johnny can play GTA on his iPhone, what incentive does he have to even discover that games and apps can be run on his low-resolution monochromatic calculator, much less dive in and learn Z80 assembly (or even TI BASIC)
