I was had by the online store thing, it was semi-berlieveable. But the 400 thingy looked fake to me.

You have to understand that if it was a leak, you wouldn't see a perfect picture like the pic of the Voyage 200 PLT when it came out. This is why it was made less than perfect quality. I thought Michael did an awesome job with it.

Exactly what I thought. MV did a great job on the jpeg-ization.

Just a thought: If you reduce the width of the window so that the picture of the vCD (roman numerals!) is just a bit smaller than the table it's in, fractions of letters from the text will poke out behind the picture.

I thought it was rather a lopsided screen compared to the calc body... just a bit off rotation, guess it was a prototype v400 (:

You're one to talk, your smiley is *way* off rotation. :)
BTW, am I the only one who thinks the dark gray calc, orange border and green background are not "compatible"?

I thought YECH also. That should be a SLIMEY face, whether it's off or not.

lol - Try going to the TIcalc.org store http://www.ticalc.org/store/

I thought the Voyager and Store could be fools!

I surfed ticalc.org on the 1st April 2003 specially to check for fools. The banner ads in 2001 were the funniest and caught me out! I was thinking about advertising my web site. At the time of posting it's under very heavy construction and haven't got much time for it!

Yeah, that one was classic.

I saw the Voyage 400, but missed the store one. First, I fell for it, and then I saw that it was fake news. Here is what I think of it:

Ha... Ha... Fua... Wa... ... ... Ha...

Being the nerd that I am, I do not really pay too much attention to the date or time, so I totally missed the fact that it was April 1st. I did not fall for the merchendising, though I was thoroughly amused. Obviously the merch was fake as there was no real order form. However, on the subject of the Voyage 400, it would not surprise me as with the recent re-release? of the 73. Although, you could verify (Sort of.) that there is no mention of it or anything on TI's site, despite the obvious fact of it being "leaked." Oh well. Whatever. I am tired finally.

Oh yes, one more thing. Whatever happened to w00t?

END TRANSMISSION

MV got mad, so he said any posts containing 'w00t' would be deleted.

what does w00t mean anyways?

btw, i almost fell for the store, because it was posted on March 31 in my timezone and had a blue border. But i rarely pay much attention to the news anyways (unless it's something big, which is why the V-400 got me lol)

It's a hax0r expression... Analagous to joy...

For the first time, I was not a f00l!

We're all proud of you.

DAMN IT!!!! I WANTED A THONG!!!

I was about to say something about that language, but the guidelines actually aren't against it surprisingly...here is what it says:
>>Don't use language you wouldn't hear on U.S. network television.
lol...Television morals are dropping so fast...

Ain't it the truth.

I wouldn't really know the only things i watch on tv are iron chef, dragonball z and ruroni kenshin

wow, I'm in the least intelligent 5% of society;)

Or perhaps I'm in the top 5% in terms of honesty.

The Voyage 400 seems like the kind of thing TI would do, and, while I doubted that TI would prostitute itself to the level of selling merchandise, I was willing to believe it (on my behalf, let me say I didn't go to the store; had I seen the thong I might have........doubted the verity of the news)

Course poor, date-blind me forgot it was April 1st.

P.S. The best fake news ever was the Steve Siezes Ticalc.org, Bombs TI-FILES (or whatever he bombed)

Yeah, I thought that the V400 was real for about 3 minutes until I saw posts saying it was a joke... (This was a few hours after it was posted.)
It would have been awesome :(

That's what i thought...

you're probably one of the honest guys out there...of course including moi, of course!

>>of course including moi, of course!

Does anyone pay any attention to redundancy around here? I should be the MBGC (Message Board Grammar Cop), obviously in allusion to the MBC.
