They stopped making them in the 90s and early 2000s when they quit making calculators. They made the absolute best RPN calculators that have ever been made, but shut down their calculator division. I prefer RPN, but I guess TI has a stranglehold on the market selling calculators without innovation for years and years. Ah well.
From what I remember it was when Carly Fiorina took the helm as CEO that the company turned from Quality-Driven to Marketing-Driven.
After she left it just kept being managed in 90s’ MBA style, just like a lot of companies of the time many of which eventually went bust or massivelly shrank (GE is a great example).
HP makes calculators still, actually. Can’t say I have any love for their printers but the HP Prime blows any TI equivalent out of the water, easily the best calculator I’ve ever used.
