Has anyone ever had that problem were Omnicalc freezes up when you try to uninstall it? I was using version 1.1m on a TI-83 Plus. I've had it happen more than once. But ever since v1.2 was released, it hasn't crashed.

Don't remember that...I never uninstalled it; a crash would do that for me. :(

However, for a while the "Quick Apps" and "Hide Finance App" in v. 1.23 didn't want to work together for a while. They seem to be working fine now, though.

Hey that happened w/me too.

Omnicalc 1.1m isn't an official Omnicalc release. Whoever modded it probably screwed something up.

Also, 1.2 removed the clipboard, which was the cause of some crashes in 1.1

Um, yeah, I've crashed my calculator many times back in the day when I was learning Z80 assembly. I'd write some little programs directly on the calculator (in hex, of course) and run them. Sometimes the screen looked like pixel vomit when it crashed, and other times it just reset. Ah, good times. :)

I once somehow managed to crash my TI-86 WITHOUT any program, neither BASIC nor ASM (just the TI-OS), but I can't seem to duplicate it.

Everyone should try this on-calc assembly program:

:AsmPrgm
:C9

IT"S AWESOME!!!1!1one

Umm... that's so pointless. All it ever excecutes is a RETurn back to the TI-OS

Yeah, unless you're REALLY desperate to see "Done" at the right side of the screen...

C9 is just the hex equivelant of RET, isn't it? So that would do.... nothing?

My favorite is the

""-->Str0
expr(Str0

bug in the TI-83. However, I tend to crash my calc with ASM debugging all the time.

The TI-86 will crash without any programs (well, sort of). On the home screen, type "InpSt x" (without the quotes) then press MODE after the ? appears. Then, go to GRAPH->Y= & enter a character or 2 in Y1. Then, press MODE again, then clear. Then, type more than you entered last time into Y1. Finally, attempt to delete Y1. (At least, I think that is how it goes).

You can also do it by using the St>Eq and Eq>St functions a few times each in a row if you start out with an equation or string that contains some specific char (the small E is the only one I can remember at the moment...).

Once I think I did something just by pasting list names in one of the plot list fields that ended up dumping a portion of memory or something to the X List area, but I can't remember how I did it, and haven't been able to reproduce it...

That's completely pointless. I actually wasted time on VTI for this.

Kinda off topic...

I just found this website called Red vs. Blue, you know, the online halo clone, but this is a website that uses it to make hilarious movies. For anyone that loves online comedy or Halo you should check it out.

RvB isn't a clone, they use Halo to make the movies!

My roommate has seasons 1 and 2 on DVD.... So hilarious!!!!!!!!

Not to be offensive or anything, but RvB is half a year (at least) old. Probably more. I think they started it soon after Halo came out (same time as the xbox did).

Uhm.. My option wasn't here.. "Only when I choose to!!!!!"
Sometimes just for fun I press a magical set of buttons an, TADA!!! Everything goes very Wrong!
It's the Equ->string( crash..

What is that??? I've never heard of it.

o0o I've heard of that one before. I think the crash also worked on VTI. I don't remember exactly, but don't you do something like

"
Equ->String(Ans

Again, I can't remember, but try it anyway :P Ooh, and whatever the bug is--I think it was fixed in a later OS version, so it might now work now.

ERR: SYNTAX

:(

You have use ""-->Str0 \ expr(Str0, but I think it only works on the 83, not plus.

ERR: INVALID

:(

That's only the 83. The 83+ has a different one that uses str->equ( or equ->str(. I no longer remember how it goes though.

And I remember I found one on my TI-82, but I don't remember how to do that one either. It had something to do with putting either a string or a list in Y1 and doing something with it. All it did was mess up the Stat Plot screen so that there were funky characters everywhere, but it didn't actually crash.
