Book of TI Discovered
Posted by Michael on 10 October 2005, 07:45 GMT

This evening Joey Gannon was out for a refreshing bicycle ride when a series of events profoundly changed his life. As he rounded a corner on a residential street, the front tire of the bicycle struck a Voyage 200 which had been left on the roadway two hours earlier. The resulting impact wobbled the wheel resulting in a catastrophic crash involving multiple flips and culminating with Joey landing head-first on top of a nearby armadillo. The armadillo escaped with only superficial scratches while Joey mustered all his strength to crawl over to the Voyage 200 to ascertain if it was damaged. Despite the throbbing headache and a newly discovered affinity for depitted olives, Joey was able to read the undamaged calculator's screen. What it contained will surely change the world forever.

The Voyage 200 displayed a file named "The Book of TI". Through corporate intervention and a few TI staff psychologists, Joey realized that he was staring at the Holy Book of TI containing universal calculator truth. As the Voyage 200's batteries were rather low, he frantically ran back towards his house for a gross of pencils and a ream of paper. Upon returning, the Book of TI was so enthralling that after reading the several-thousand page document, Joey only had time to copy the beginning few verses before the batteries died. What he gleamed is shared below:

1 SynThesIs

  1. In the beginning TI created the Educational and Productivity Solutions department.
  2. The marketplace was formless and void, and mathematical incoherentness was deep.
  3. Then TI said, "Let there be the TI-81"; and there was the TI-81.
  4. TI saw that the TI-81 was good; and TI separated the TI-81 from all other calculators.
  5. TI called the TI-81 a graphing calculator and the rest It called scientific or financial. And there were many evenings and morning, part of the product development cycle.
  6. Then TI said, "Let there a EOS and let it parse equations."
  7. TI made the EOS and separated the operations into their order of precedence, and it was so.
  8. TI called the EOS part of the homescreen. And there was a month in the product development cycle.
  9. Then TI said, "Let there be an equation editor, for entering equations, and let there be a graph screen for graphing the equations". And it was so.
  10. TI created the Matrix and the List, and these were good for storing data, so It created the real variable also.
  11. And TI saw that students were paying attention in their studies, so It created BASIC.
  12. After It had finished with Creation, TI rested while the Beta Testers examined Its creation.
  13. The Beta Testers found bugs, and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
  14. TI smote the Beta Testers for their insolence and rested. On the fourteenth day It fixed the bugs and proclaimed Creation to be complete.
  15. TI saw all that It had made and it was good.
2 The Distribution of the TI-81
  1. Thus the TI-81 was finished.
  2. TI blessed the end of the product development cycle and sent forth Its creation to populate the Earth.
  3. It said, "Let my creation be fruitful and multiply, for there are profits throughout the Earth."
  4. TI breathed life into the factories and they did run assembly lines and produce many TI-81s.
  5. The TI-81 did multiply according to TI's will and throughout the land teachers and students purchased them in mass quantities.
  6. TI was heartened by Its creation and its popularity and so caused a great command to fall upon the TI-81 development team. TI said to them, "You shall fashion for me a helper suitable to improve the product line."
  7. The product development team worked and from the case, ROM, and design of the TI-81 fashioned it a suitable assistant.
  8. The team said, "This calculator was created out of the TI-81 and is a derivative work of its ROM. It shall be called TI-85."
  9. And TI made this so.
  10. TI fired up the assembly plants and they made TI's new work fruitful even beyond that of the TI-81. It saw how good the TI-85 was compared to the TI-81.
  11. Both the TI-81 and the TI-85 were pure in body and thought and were not ashamed to be written in ASM.
3 The Fall of the TI-85
  1. Now the serpent was more crafty than any student in the field which TI had marketed to. And he looked at the TI-85 and said, "Indeed, has TI said, you shall not run assembly language?"
  2. The TI-85 replied, "BASIC we may run but from the Z80 machine code we shall not execute or else I will crash."
  3. The serpent was very intelligent and clever, and so said to the TI-85, "You surely will not crash by me!"
  4. The serpent revealed himself to be David Boozer and hacked the TI-85 via memory backups.
  5. The TI-85 did not resist for it was powerless in the hands of such a hacker serpent. It wailed and gnashed its keys.
  6. When David Boozer ran an assembly program the eyes of the TI-85 were opened and it knew that it always ran machine code in its OS.
  7. The TI-85 realized that David's ASM programs would not lead to crashes and so it opened its ROM and RAM structure to him.
  8. Having opened the eyes of the TI-85, David turned over his work to Dan Eble. Dan was a very skilled programmer and worked to further defile the TI-85.
  9. Out of Dan's efforts was born ZShell. ZShell opened the heart of the TI-85 to chaos and allowed all kinds of ASM to run.
  10. When TI saw what had happened, It cried "What have you done?" And it wailed and gnashed Its teeth.
  11. And nothing was said for TI knew what had been done. The TI-85 had sinned and its operation had been exposed to the most fundamental programming language.
  12. TI was angry but could not curse Dan Eble for his work. TI said instead to the TI-85, "You will always remain overpriced and poorly programmed. And ASM programs shall be unsupported on all calculators."
  13. But TI had no choice for market forces tempted even It. It fashioned offspring from the ROM and the case of the TI-85. Because of this, all calculators possess sin.
  14. TI created the...

After reading the entire Book of TI, Joey ran to the nearest electronics retailer and, carrying his backlit TI-86, planted himself squarely in the middle of the calculator aisle and authoratively proclaimed one of the 10 BASIC Command(ment)s: "Thou shalt have no calculators other than TI!" Having played one too many games of Whack-A-Mole over the years, Joey defended himself from HP heathens by slapping them left and right with the 86 as they approached. Several armed men in uniforms started to haul Joey away but could not silence his cries of "TI is coming! TI is coming!" At the present time, Joey is incarcerated in a maximum security prison in Alaska. Magnus, who spoke to him by long distance telephone call last weekend, informed us of his condition: "Joey is doing well I think. He's been pacing the cell quoting parts of the TI-89 manual from memory."

There is no word yet from the federal government as to when Joey will be eligible for parole. A mental competency hearing is scheduled for next Wednesday.

Let us gather our TI Brethren and begin a church, to be built upon the foundations laid by the book of TI, which fhall be our Bible, while our church fhall alfo remain balanced with the powers of that evil serpent of ASM, which we shall not ftrike down, but purify, and cleanse the devil's ways from the OS of all TI's, and hope to create a RAM recoverer which hath the power to recover all documents such af the book of TI, which hath partially escaped our grafp here.

Jeese, my middle English sucks, and some parts of this were sooo funny, my teacher looked up at me snorting. Just the part about "TI smote the Beta Testers for their insolence and rested" really killed me. Sounds like TI must adapt to Satanic ways, so as to remain in power, and let itself be overcome by the serpent. (It will happen anyway)

Yay for the book of TI and the frikin Voyage 200!

And the TI commanded you to accept onlyy It as the true calcultor

And the profit Jeramiah told the Tiites: You shall not stray from TI, do not be tempted by the RPN of the idolators of hewlet-packardites, or the touchscreens of the Casioites

Well, not nowadays anymore. But, back in the day (think at least ~400-500 years ago or so) they did. I believe that the last one was the calender Pope Gregory VII created, with leap years. If I'm not mistaken, it is the base of the calender most of the world uses today. (was it Gregory VII?)

Hey, I am a Christian too. I think the whole thing (at least most of which is intended in jest) is funny, & as for the part which is not...it would be hard to base a fanatical religion upon calculators, since it would require people who are very intelligent yet very irrational (which of course does happen sometimes). All the intelligent & *rational* people would use abacuses (abacii?) instead, or slide rules, since they could double as a weapon when necessary. :)

Oh! I going to really have to really resurrect the TI link cable and torture both of you! CajunLuke, join me, in my mission to kill this TGE guy! And I promise, CajunLuke, the link cable will not kill you this time. I trained him.

*looks around nervously* It'd better be trained to keep off of me too... We must starve the link cable by not feeding it any data so that it gets hungry, and will chase them down!!! <evil laugh>

Now THAT would be a calculator...(but just imagine how long garbage collections would take; also, I think you'd need a 32 bit processor to handle the additional memory addresses...)

But if there was a calculator with 1 GB, they could make Halo...maybe, just maybe.

What would be really cool is to plug a usb hub(not powered by the calc but by extra batteries or AC) into the calc that has a usb keyboard, mouse, and 1 gig flash drive connected to it. Then, you could have better controls. Even better, also add a usb monitor for better graphics(if they make those yet). Even better, buy an XBox or a computer.

Well now, I don't know about that...but, $200 would not be too much...

$200 for a 1 GB calculator? That's not possible. Something around 400-500 dollars.

PeteyBoy hardly has any memory left on his calculator, which is actually pretty sad considering how much memory's on that thing. *Burns the link cable necromancy book* haha

Hey, I recovered some memory back. I have 312292 bytes of memory left after deleting all the games I didn't really used.

Whoa, that must have been a considerable number of games, at least 30, assuming each was 10k, and you started out near 0 archive.

Yea, but 300000 bytes out of 1 million is still not a ton, so yea, only thing PeteyBoy does on his calculator is play games and stare at his Periodic Table and the <cough> <retarded> <cough> element called platinum :)

Oh, in case you didn't know, platinum is extremely valuable, so it's not useless and it's not retarded; in fact, I wish my whole calculator would be encased in pure platinum.

Why don't you just stop picking on him? I'd bet you've never even seen PeteyBoy in person!

Says who it's not possible? You know, it's people like that who impede the progress of science. Every time someone says "it's not possible", some genius-to-be out in the world turns back from that path and becomes a burger flipper.
(sorry, I just wanted to say that...)

In any case, I think it is quite possible, seeing as 1 GB flash drives are down around $50 (+tax, of course) right now. And plus, right now, you could download Dan Englender's USB8X application, splice together a USB cable and attach you calc to a flash memory device. I won't guarentee success, but it's worth a try...

It's very possible using that method.

Hey...I have a TI-92+, & I sometimes manage to get an "Out of Memory" error when doing a math problem (even if I have 200KB free RAM before starting it). I guess it just depends upon what kind of math you do.
