Would any of you think the original is better than the 2newer one?
I personally think that TI-Connect is better than TI-Connect CE, in certain respects.
(I know, some of these are super obvious. I'm just stating the facts.)
Pros
- This version can send certain files that CE can't. Depending on the file, CE will say: "One or more files was invalid and cannot be sent to the calculator(s)." You can send them easily with the original.
- You can send files that contain invalid tokens. CE will say "bad token!" If you try to send those files. With the original, no problem.
- You can send some CSE and CE apps to an 84+. (I've tried it, it worked with DCSE8)
- You can change clock settings with the original, and send them to the calculators.
- The original can look at any battery level on your calculator. The CE will only tell you if they are low.
Cons
- It takes longer to send files on this version than the CE, the original takes 3x longer than CE.
- Sometimes, the original can freeze up before transfers and device searches. CE is better when you're in a dash.
- You can't edit programs on this version; only with CE.
- It's more complicated with the original. CE is simpler and easier to use.
What do you guys think? You can add/edit more bullets to my post, just bold them when they are new. I'm just curious. Don't judge me.
Oh and another question: Does sending and receiving files on the calculator use battery juice/power more? Because I know that the calculator is sending currents of electricity, which could come from the batteries.
