This colourful calculator gives you an idea of marketing. The only changes compared to the basic TI-1200 were the blue-yellow keyplate and a light-grey housing. With this calculator Texas Instruments targeted a total new market - the hand-bag of modern women. A second attempt was made 13 years later again with the Nuance.

The new color of the housing was used later within the TI-12xx line, don't miss the Spirit of '76 or the TI-1260.
