Re: LZ: Ti 85 Crashes?



crasing the calc. by some sort of program, data values etc. is not
possible (at least not indeffinately) Your talking about screwing up the
ROM (read only memore). Notice I say read only. That means what it says.
This stuff it embedded into the calc.(embedded into the chips and boards
making what we call the architecture of the chip and the calc.) 
	However, you could mess up the calc. so it would stop working
completely. It is a very simple process consisting of three easy steps.
(1.) put calc. on ground at your feet.
(2.) pick up average brick (color not important)
(3.) release the brick, allowing it's potential energy to be converted
into kinetic energy breaking many bonds in the calc. and procesing this
simple reaction.


Try that, I believe it should work but have yet to try it out myself.
		Hope that helps you out,
