• Works but Hangs Often

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Version 1.6 works with Tiger, but frequently hangs. This seems to happen most often if the drag-and-drop feature is used. Using the File-&gt;Save Selected Items to Disk... menu item works better, but be patient, you'll see a spinning beachball for a while even if it doesn't hang. If you're trying to save stuff to the computer's disk and don't see this option on the File menu, but see "Save Selected Items to Device" then you'll want to quit TI Explorer and restart it from the TI Connect X menu by choosing "Copy Files to Computers." It'd be nice to have a third-party program that worked nicer. The interface on this program is stodgy and the wait times on transfers is ridiculous, even considering the speed of the calculator itself (which is faster than many other 8-bit systems I own.) -Saundby

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This is great! With a new G5 on the way, booting into MacOS 9 wouldn't be an option. Having this software is a great big step in the right direction. I did however find a few bugs, and reported them to TI. The developers there were really helpful, and responded to my email in less than 12 hours. They told me the issues I reported have been fixed, and beta 2 will be available within a couple weeks. I can't wait!

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />First of all, this has been available from TI's site for over a month. I downloaded it last week and it crashed on first run. I gave it another shot and everything worked fine. I was able to update the OS, load apps and games, and do other basic things on my 83+. I haven't had any reason to try the more advanced features, however. This is a decent piece of software, even if it is two years late. In the future, I hope to see interface changes and the consolidation of the four applications into one.
