Re: Ti-89 Died

I neglected to mention I also had Mario92. And that is the virus type
program, today the same problem ALMOST happened again, luckily i took
the batteries out fast enough. I'll say it clearly:
MARIO92 IS A VIRUS OR A PROGRAM THAT WILL DESTROY THE TI-89
DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DELETE IT, YOU MUST RESET YOUR
MEMORY IF YOU HAVE IT IMMEDIATELY, IT CAUSES NON-REPAIRABLE DAMAGE.
