    Ti-89 Titanium
Click For Summary
A setting on the TI-89 Titanium calculator can inadvertently switch from insert mode to overwrite mode, causing new characters to erase existing ones instead of being added. To revert to insert mode, users can press 2nd + backspace. The calculator displays "INS" above the backspace key as a reminder to switch back to insert mode, indicated by the blue color coding. This functionality is crucial for maintaining the advantages of the TI-89, allowing for easy editing of input lines.

How do I change it back!??

Like most word processors, the 89 can be put into overwrite instead of insert mode. Google says you can change back and forth by 2nd+backspace. INS appears above backspace to remind you how to get into insert mode (blue to tell you to hit 2nd and then that key).

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
