Reminds me of what TI did with graphing calculators, actually.
HP and Casio had graphing calculators a good five years before TI did, but TI gave schools free samples and made deals with textbook authors.
And that's how a late-to-market-but-adequate technology becomes ubiquitous.
- rbanffy 16y agoI remember a Casio graphing calculator a friend of mine had (I had a PB-700 BASIC "calculator" at that time). It was good enough, but I was endlessly amused when it responded "irregal command" when asked to do something it couldn't. I kid you not. The Casios were nice, but the HPs were hideously expensive. I can see why TI entered the market.
