What ROM version is your TI-83? Mine's 1.08...I tried the steps to crash my
calc three times, nothing happened. Seems like TI fixed all the bugs in ROM
1.08 which is kind of a letdown...I always wanted to crash my calc in some
exotic way.
And while on the subject of TI-83 bugs, can anybody with a TI-83 ROM v1.07 or
earlier try this?
1. Make a program called "PONG"
2. Type this into the program:
Input A
3. Run the program.
4. When it asks you for input, press [2ND][QUIT], and then _immediately_
press [ENTER] to re-run the program. If you're not fast enough, this
might not work...
5. Repeat this process until the TI says "Done"...and then press a key.
On one of my friend's calculators, this killed it for a good 15 minutes or so.
