I thought kirk married his calculator? Has he asked what his calc has to say about all this?

last i heard, it was 2 busy making out w/ an hp 49g(traitor!!!) :)

Hey I think they are kinda cute in a wierd sort o way.It now has a family of four because of me.J/k

Nah, that was me :) And I'd thank you not to make a scene.

you're outdone. My brother married his Pentium II-400!!!

I'd like to see the demographic breakdown of visitors to ticalc; how many of them are going to be female?

My educated guess is slim to none.

We did run a survey asking that. There was, I think, one girl.

Out of how many?

infinity.

Plus one.
:)

--BlueCalx

He meant how many people answered the survey, not how many times you personally reload the site Phil. :)

Check out the url I left with this message. A friend sent me the address and man is this kid lame! You have to check it out!!!!!

oops. I screwed up the last url. This one is the right one though, so check it out!!!!!!!!

Oh, and be sure to listen to the voice!

bwahahaha Jeff Malone told me about this one, it's sadder than kirk (or Nick, if he indeed made the website fakely...) Kirk, maybe you can get some ideas for your site from this one. Check the hair!!!
No offense "michael".... :P

Heh. Only difference: I'm not really looking for a girlfriend. This is why this is funny news. It's the "turn the other cheek" strategy, only it seems that it wasn't ZAPO trying to make fun of me after all. :)

I just wanted to let you all hear the word from the mouth, the article on ZAPO today was due to a security leak. In other words, we are sorry, I didn't post anything in anyway to be offensive to Kirk, and also, please stop mailing me about it. Thanx.

Just so everyone knows, the security problem was with our ftp account at dimension-ti, not with any of my infinatly beautiful perl scripts. I have IP checking and things of that sort, as well as a small mail script that sends me a message everytime something is posted from the members section. I didnt get a mail of that sort about this particular news item, so I have come to the conclusion that whoever did this must have our ftp pass. We will change it soon. It is all quite funny tho :)

Yes, the "hack" was quite humorous.

I have a Ti-89 and I ran Math Suite(in the archives at Ticalc under Ti-89/Basic/Math). It crashed my calc and what ever I try to reset or even take all the batteries off, it would turn on but do nothing. Does anyone have this problem?

this has nothing to do with the topic, but reset it by taking out one of the batteries and pressing (-) and ) at the same time , for 5 sec, after replacing the battery.

um, try 2nd-left-right-on

it doesn't work.

I prefer to take out the backup battery (you know, the lithium, coin-shaped one), then take out the AAA batteries, replace the AAA batteries, and take them out again, and replace them, until the calculator recovers. Then put the lithium battery back in. That way I don't have to deal with some f---ed up key sequence that never seems to work. (BTW, I've heard that it's 2nd-right-left-on (source: the DoorsOS readmes). I've become so confused I don't even know whether it's left-right or right-left anymore.)

doesn't matter, you hold them at the same time......

To reset the 89 take out 1 battery to turn off the calc. Then hold down the (-) and the ) button. If the ) button doesn't work do it with the ( button. Then press ON and the memory should be cleared.

Note: How could a BASIC program crash a calc?????

Ummm.... The topic on the last one should be RESET THE 89 not Resent the 89.

One other why I've always reset games is turn over the calculator and take out a battery while pressing on. Insert the battery again and it should be reset. Also, 2nd-left-right-on should do it without having to take out any batteries.

I don't know??!!!!
Download rom ver 1.5 and the program and see for yourself

I think you have to run it several times. It will appear to have abnormal terminations and internal errors and will probably cause you to get another one. And I think it's basic since it appeared in the basic programs

Nevermind.
Thanks for the advice Johan Cohen and Nick Chaves.

You mean ROM version 1.05 I think...

I had it crash in the program editor before. But that was with AMS v1.0 and older batteries.

Dont Ask Me, But FF7 Crashed My Ti-89 while I was porting it.

Is it just me, or Does every 68000 Based calculator have to crash During the First week of use? I Bought the Ti-92 when it first came out and it crashed 5 days after I owned it. (Graphing a 3D Example) After that, it never crashed again. The same thing happened to the Ti-89 so far. It crashed 3 days after I bought it and it's never crashed since.

what you need to do is throw the calculator repeatedly against the wall until you hear a short explosion or a small burst of smoke. replace the batteries, and the problem of turning it on will be gone. !-|

haha

the following alwayz workz 4 me:

1. take out da batteries
2. pres and hold the on key 4 a few seconds
3. put the batteries back in and turn it on
