Hoping I won't get royally flamed for asking:
  
Has anybody seen the new TI-81?  I've only seen a picture of it in the Aug 6
TIME magazine.  It looks like a simpler version of the HP-48SX, with a large
display and plotting capabilities.  Some of the key labels are VERY similar
to the 48SX, such as VAR and others.  I presume it is probably more similar
to the Casio FX-whatever-000 than the 48, since it goes for about $80 thru
mailorder.  EduCalc supposedly sold their first 300 of them very quickly.
Inquiring minds want to know . . . what the competition is up to!!

No disclaimers necessary.  I'll deny everything!
