Calculators Programming ti83 cursor to NOT blink?

[Curd]

is there any way to program a ti83 so that its cursor doesn't blink?

I don't know. But maybe you can program yourself to blink exactly when it does, so you'd never see it.

hah hah. :P

I wasn't sure if this was the right forum to post this in. Google gave me a link to the math forum when i tried to find a solution.

I don't know if you can do what your thinking but it might be in here if it exists. From what I know you can only change it for like one operation in fact being able to see what shape it's in is important to being able to tell what it's doing.

I did see something while searching for that site that suggests you can upload different operating systems onto these types calculators however I know nothing about that.

are there any graphic calculators that don't have a blinking cursor?

I think it would be possible. Hard, but possible. You would have to interfere with the graphics card, to counteract what the calculator's OS does with the blinking. Messy stuff. I just have to ask, WHY?!?!?

You can place a blank space at the top right of the screen to cover the blinking. I don't remember the code, though.
