For all you looking to outfit your math departments, you might want to take a look at the updates to the iconic TI-Nspire calculator models TI just launched. The TI-Nspire with Touchpad ($149) and TI-Nspire CAS with Touchpad ($159) include a whole bunch of new features like a streamlined touchpad keypad more like a laptop's, alpha keys for writing text more easily, and an enhanced home page display to access documents and applications more easily. Users of the older Clickpad models can still download the new TI-Nspire 2.0 operating system at the TI site and take advantage of the new developments. How... Nspiring!
