- Steve_Baker 17y agoWhy buy the more expensive calculator with feature X when you can add that feature to your cheaper device with a software upgrade? I imagine some of the difference between models might be mostly software.

- pasbesoin 17y agoSomeone commented the other week that this could cause the revocation of certain models... 'approval/certification' for use in specifically defined settings, particularly in formal testing (ACT?, SAT? -- I don't recall) and therefore in classes that work towards that testing. That person made the point that this might have significant implications for future marketshare. P.S. Not that I'm a fan of the DRM involved.
- DanielStraight 17y agoNow that is actually a really good point.
