  I don't get that. The TI nspire is way improved from older calculators. It has a color higher resolution screen and a ton of functions and apps. Unfortunately they removed the BASIC scripting. And there are a lot of features removed from it to keep it approved on standardized tests, like the ability to automatically solve equations and a QWERTY keyboard. But it's really good at graphing things and I loved it when I was in school.

    At the time that comic was written, the TI nspire was only a few years old, didn't have a color screen yet, and was way more than $110 (still is, btw). It had almost no presence in the market because it wasn't yet being adopted wholesale the way the TI-83 family was.

    I have a TI-nspire cx, it has support for Lua scripting instead! It even has a physics engine inside so you can write quite complicated games even.
