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.
