We've had this system in development for several years now. If you've noticed that we've been low on news articles, surveys, and so forth, it's because we've been working on this.

It's worth the wait! We're confident that you'll really enjoy working with a real solution to real problems created by real people in the calculator community. No mysteries behind closed doors! If you have a problem with V80 or C3 or the ticalc.org App Store, we've got real human beings who actually answer email in a reasonable amount of time(*) to help you.

(*) Subject to availability, due to midterms and so forth.

How can a person get a hold of material to make their own v80?

april fools!
ticalc would never open a store because the programmers are the visitors
and not the ticalc hired programmers
and you expected the rest to fool us?
amusing

The point is to make you laugh. Nobody expects you to be fooled, fool.

What are you talking about? You're just a new staff member, we haven't told you all the secret projects we've been up to.

The point isn't to make money for ticalc.org; the purpose of the ticalc.org App Store is to allow programmers to make money. Apple takes 30% of the revenue from their App Store; we plan to charge rather less than that.

Hide Fake News?

What a hoot!!

You're a hoot, that's what you are.

With a capital H.

Does C3 use the awesome Grunt networking protocol?

its actually an extension of Kerm's CN2 protocol.

So it crashes and is needlessly complicated, yet has 800 pages of poorly phrased documentatino?

Har de har har.

Did you even try to make this sound real? This is the worst April Fool's I have ever seen on Ticalc.

The real name of the site is "ticalc.org", not "Ticalc", you insensitive clod!

Clod.

Its not supposed to sound real. It's April Fools!

Wow that was one april fools joke this year x.x, I guess everyone is just busy this year. I barely even got time to make one on my own site this year so it ended up with something else than what I planned. Illusiat 13 is not an april fools joke, though.

er... i suck so much at typing tonight... I meant to say "Wow that was one *late* april fools joke this year x.x"

Better than a stupid music video.

Unitedti beat everyone though.

The problem is that nobody actually goes to UTI.

yet it got the second highest non-spam post rate in the entire english TI community (after Cemetech)

Our post rate has gotten higher, but so has the spam post rate (user-generated, not bot generated). :(

Well, cemetech rocks!

Well there isn't that much spam to be honest (at least, compared to Revsoft and Omnimaga, altough on the later it's all contained in one single section that is invisible to guests, doesn't raise post count and is closed every summer)

That isn't saying much.

Quality over quantity, you mean? Not so much.

When it got past noon, I started to wonder if you guys decided to not do anything this year.

I agree, there still wasn't anything when I checked around early evening, I didn't see this until April 2nd...

I think this was one of my favorite past jokes (see web page). I really like some of the link targets--that makes it pretty funny.

my favourite was the Voyage 400 one, but that one was funny too, especially how it had an HP ad XD

That HP ad actually came from an earlier AF joke where ticalc.org claimed it had to start carrying banner ads to pay for running the site (web page link). That was so long ago that I never actually saw it, I think (that was long before I had regular Web access).

I just followed that link, and I have to say, that that had to have been the best. I've seen so many sites that have actually come to that; it's a shame that whatever was once there is now lost forever.
