Graphing calculators have long been considered a must among a segment of the school-bound crowd. But Texas Instruments has added a touch of fashion to its latest model for students. The TI-84 Plus Silver Edition calculator, available for around $130, is no slacker on the function side, either.

It builds on the popular TI-83 graphing calculator, with more than double the processing speed and nine times as much memory. It comes with 30 built-in programs, like the periodic table of the elements, algebra, geometry and science guides, a flash-card maker and a contact organizer. The TI-84 is Texas Instruments first graphing calculator with a USB port, which can be used to link it to a projector to show off calculations in class and connect it to a computer for software downloads and system upgrades. And in a first for Texas Instruments, students can customize their calculators' welcome screens or add blue, orange or pink faceplates, lending a little color to typically black-and-white subjects.

A Long Time Ago :

1972 - TI-2500 Datamath Portable Calculator, the first calculator sold by TI

1971 - Texas Instruments announces the TMS1802NC - TI first "calculator on a chip".

1967 - Texas Instruments shows "Cal-Tech" the first LSI IC-based handheld calculator. U.S. Patent 3,819,921 granted to Texas Instruments' Jack Kilby & team for TI Cal-Tech calculator in 1974.

1958 - Jack Kilby, Texas Instruments created the first Integrated Circuits.

1954 - Texas Instruments introduces the first mass-produced commercial Silicon Transistor.

1953 - Texas Instruments was listed in the New York Stock Exchange with a symbol: TXN. Erik Jonsson was the first share holder. NYSE listing was to acquire the public funding that would enable it to diversify. It then moved on to focus on new frontier - Transitors.

1950 - GSI spins off its manufacturing arm that was to becomes Texas Instruments (TI) Inc.

1949 - GSI begins producing airborne radar system.

1941 - GSI begins producing Magnetic Aerial Detector (MAD), submarine detection devices for the U.S. government as part of the World War II effort..

1930 - Geophysical Service Inc. (GSI) was founded by John Clarence Karcher & Eugen McDermott. It's purpose was to provide services to provide oil exploration services.
