Everybody do this:

Set your computer's clock back to 1970, and BUY BUY BUY! Then set it to 2037 and SELL SELL SELL!

You'll make a fortune!

Ha ha!!

This is truly one of the most original April Fool's jokes I've ever seen. But I only fell for it because it's still March 31st over here. Note the Subject of this comment. ;-)

yeah, i'm in oregon, and it about 10:43 pm, march 31, so i almost got tricked than i remembered that it was april 31 in grenich
i completely forgot about april fools, i need to watch out tomarrow

April 31st? April has only 30 days where I come from...j/k, I know what you meant ;)

You don't even have to go to 2037 to sell sell sell...just keep buy buy buying because they are PAYING you to buy stock... ;)

A computer's clock is a powerful thing and I love LaTeX too much, and I can see this is going nowhere, so ``send'' it is.

How in the world did the character limit not stop you? It always gets me when I type stuff like that... even if there are no 40-character strings AND when I have spaces at the end of every line.
I don't think it likes me

weird, btw, that was awful LaTeX, don't read it!

He may have put spaces at the end of every line...that's what I always do. Or Magnus was nice and decided to conform and allow the new-line character be considered a "word-breaker," but...Magnus being nice? j/k ;)

How do 'buy' ticalc stock?

My computer clock goes from 1980-2099. I tried setting it to 1099 but I got a blue screen. It did work though but again, when I set it back to normal it blue screened.

STUPID WINDOWS DRIVER THAT DOSN'T LIKE THE VARIABLE FOR DATE!!

Wow... Mangus and Issac are rich... Now they should put ALL their time into ticalc... (I know it's a joke...)

See, now that part is what got me. I mean if they just said something a little less than "billion" then I just may have not caught on so fast. And the fact that the stock supposedly jumped from $0.25 to $120 when I checked didn't help, but hey a 48000% rise aint too bad!

GAR GAR GAR LOVE THE APRIL FOOLS JOKES GAR GAR GAR!
heh, two years in a row you guys used stocks : ) appreciate the fun though, i almost checked the paper to buy some stock lol

Gar?

Spoiled Stiff?

***puts wallet back in pocket and hangs up call to broker who is now laughing hysterically***

got me good! but, eh, it's late, which is no excuse to the fact that I'll believe anything sometimes. Good one. A+

That is pretty funny. Almost as funny as hundreds of people e-mailing TI about the Voyage 400 :-D

What did TI do?

... what would happen to the dollar if TiCalc.org stock realy grew that fast. All the sudden, everyone who hadn't bought in would be bankrupt because of the super-high inflation rates.

Yeah, that's what really gave it away for me. I would continually hit "reload" and it would go up a few cents every time...

Call me stupid, but I don't quite follow.

-W-

I'm not sure if it is STILL doing it, but if you kept hitting reload, the amount the stock was worth (the amount shown in the box) kept going up. This is not true for REAL stock, because it wouldn't rapidly go up at a consistent rate, unless some miracle happened...oh the joy of the stock market...

And I set you up too....

I don't understand why the value of the dollar would fall.

-W-

You know...neither do I...it only falls with the processing of more money by the government or by illegal means or economy falling as far as I know...unless ticalc doing well would hurt the economy, I don't know how it would affect the value of the dollar... :/

Actually, if anything, the value of the dollar would increase. Isaac and Magnus would hoard all of the money in the... Wiat, Aren't the located in Sweden? I didn't even think they had dollars there. Oh boy, now i'm confused.

If the value of the stock went up that quickly, and then the stockholders sold it, then those stock holders would make a boatload of money, money that had not been around previously and suddenly the value of the dollar would drop, the same way that the Great Depression started in 1928 on Black Tuesday.
