I'm devoted to my calculator, but I do love assimilating other people's calcs...by loading them with MirageOS, Omnicalc, and Symbolic. Those have to be the 3 most useful apps ever!

every buddy asks me to put games on them, so I dont mind using them....and of course making this is fun too:

ClrHome
While 1
Input "",Str1
Disp expr(Str1)+randInt(-1,1)
End

I like this personally:
:ClrHome
:While 1
:Output( randInt (1,8), randInt (1,14) ,"HA! (I know it doesn't have spaces but I got an error for having a very long word even though it isn't a word.)
:End
Most people I own only care that they need their graphing calculator and never wanted to program, so its fun seeing their reactions. They never know all you have to do is press on. I borrow friends' calcs to do this and sometimes I forget my calc.

Correction: It's people I know not own. :P

I made my own font that switched around all the numbers and sent it to my friend's calculator... he was quite confused

I like

:Disp "{12 Spaces}Done"
:Fix 0
:While 1
:Input "",X
:Disp X+randX
:End

I bet they're confused when they see that only some of the menus work...what an evil (and fun!!!) trick. ;-)

they dont know what menus are....

Ive done that and then let someone
"borrow" my calc for a math test.....interestingly enough they had a better score on that test than usual.

Did they use a non-ti calc before that or something?

Wow, what a great prgrm idea i've never create a joke in that way it should be great, 2 all my friends better beware and Safe your calcs... b4 that b just 2 late

The most evil program I've written is one where the program asks for a number, tells you what number you just entered, then asks you to guess what number you entered. Once you do that it redraws parts the screen so it looks like the first number you entered was some random different number and laughs at you for being so stupid. I even added a feature so you can tell the calculator to not be evil next time the program is run and then go back to being evil, so you can really annoy people when you can guess your own number and they can't.

I wouldn't get to pissed off with mi calc (only if its an ASM PRGRM)but even if i do, i would be 1000 times angrier with who did it. So overall Great Joke Dude.

Asm(Prgm Run
While 1
End

Run is a prgm i didnt release that merely turns off the run indicator, so they wouldnt even know a program was running, yet the calc would seem unresponsive
<twisted laugh, kinda> mwahahaaa </fake html tag>

:"EVEN BETTER
:ClrHome
:Repeat 0
:Input "",A
:Disp "Yo Momma!
:If A=(pi):Then
:Disp "Is a playr
:End
:End

or you could make a prgm that makes multiple huge matrices, puts 99 numbers into each built in list, and stores a number to each real number.

"Hey Scott, how come it says not enough RAM?"
"I dont know"
"is it screwed up?"
"yea. i think so. ill take that old piece of $h*t 89ti off your hands"

I've done that with strings - not on other people's calcs, though, just on my own when I was bored so I could try getting the OS to crash with 5 bytes of free memory.

"A"->A
A+A->A
A+A->A
A+A->A
...

What calc is that for?

I do it on the 86, but it should work on the 83+ too.

or you could use compand post plus's low mem simulation

Usually the only time I use other people's calcs is when they have I problem thney need me to fix or if they want me to give them games or make a program for them

When I was in school, I never really forgot my calculator(s). Since I'm not in school right now, this poll doesn't really apply.

By the way, is it just me, or are the Vote and Results buttons on this poll misaligned?

They always are. Always have been, always will be. You'll get used to it eventually.

In AOL it's fine.

AOL!! Must-save-soul-must destroy eyes!

Too late!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO oooooooooooooooooooo .........

Um, AOL? Do you mean Internet Explorer?

must have.

Of course not, he meant Mozilla Firefox.

I guess I just assumed that AOLers in general have not seen the light and still use IE.
