LMAO!!! That was hilarious! A Voyage 400? No way! Texas Instrument would not have been able to come up with that until maybe another 2 years!

What April Fools Day? I just thought it was my dog's birthday! OK... I didn't see the border... but the store didn't even start to fool me. I was tricked by Michael's GFX skills...

Decent Picture

His skills are rather decent but there are a few things that should be different. The picture taken of the calculator should have had a longer focal length to minimize "fish-eye" distortion. The other is uniform lighting and having the slight gap between the screens mount and the begining of the pixels. Other than that the picture is fine.

AAAAAARRRRRRGGGHHHH! The V400 was TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!

That was a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very mean joke for people who wanted to see this happen *cry*

Don't worry, TI will release something as cool as the V400, you'll just have to wait for a bit, say a couple of years. :)

Really? By the rate technology is growing, I'd be not surprised if a Voyage 1000 doesn't come out soon! Well, that is what my friends and I are hoping.

Psst: Pray that a Voyage Pi comes out.

For TI to come out with it is what I mean. To actually make this the would have to considerably increase the software capabilities of the calculator. Otherwise they know it would be used more for gamming than it would be for math etc.

I fell for the merchandise because it was still March 31st when I looked at it EST time.

The voyager 400 really fooled me. I was so excited. To play color games would be cool. Oh well, perhaps the world isn't ready for a color Calc from TI

Okay...I fell for both pranks.
I had no idea that the 'red border' meant fake news until Apr.2.
