It's too bad only 2 other kids beside me at school have a TI-89, or I'd have so much fun distributing homemade "games" ... :b

That's how it was at my school. Me and two other kids had 89's. I would've done something sooner if I had known. They had been deprived 3/4 of the year. Except I'm not good enough to make any "games"... yet.

I have a TI-89. They rule don't they? I got a TI-83+ first though. I can screw up people's TI-83+'s by taking a battery out when sending an operating system. It makes their calculator inoperable for over 2 hours.

*Cough*- that happened to me (my batteries pooed (or should that be p00ed?) when sending an OS- every time I switched on the calc, I got this:

ERROR!
Press any key
to turn
calculator off

that happened to me too. it took me a while to fix it

Just pull a battery out, hold on + del, put batt in, release on, release del... calc won't work til os upgrade....

Hey at a guess are you guys from the same school or is this just a coincidence.

They even signed up close to the same time!

If we did then I never met him. I went to PGJHR in Utah and I knew everyone that had 89s. I made sure of that. I think.

Uh...no...I live in MA...

Same here 89's rule and every one drools over the 3d function " i wonder if it is usefull???" i think we have 2 kids at my school that have one.

They kinda forgot the "No, I'm to damned cool to actually bugger up something."

But who here could choose that option without lying? (except me, of course :)
PARADE for the end of school!

<Engage lie mode>I never mess stuff up. I've not even managed to crash MS Windows yet it is so stable.</Engage lie mode>
I just can't help being perfect.


My mum always said don't lie.
Modesty is not being completely frank and honest.
That's why I lack any form of modesty.

School's out for summer PARADE!!!

w00t! PARADE!

I've been in summer school (sort of) for a week!!!

PARADE I only have 2 more weeks!!!

(dreaded state education budget cuts)

What are you taking for summer school? I have 5 weeks to go since I'm taking Geometry...But I still had to pay $340!!! AHHHH!!! IT MAKES ME MAD! ONE YEAR THEY HAVE IT FOR FREE, THE NEXT YEAR THEY MAKE US PAY!!!

I got a perfect score for the Geometry SOLs! (and for Algebra and Math 8 and...)

Lucky rich TI-89 owner with a cable modem & a TI-83 Plus, TI-83 Plus Silver Edition, TI-83 & a TI-82. Gimme your TI-89 or else i'll sue myself for $20!

Oh yeah? well sue me! (There was a kid at my school who used an 89 on the SOLs, so he had to retake them!)
Also, my teacher didn't check to see if i had any programs on my SE.

Yeah, but can't you use NOPROGS? It makes it appear that there's no programs on your calc

Schools out for EVER.

Yeh I like that song too. Also for some of us it is spot on accurate(ish) and has been for over a year.

School's been blown to pieces! (quite literally in some places)

Okay. (refferring to the subject of your message)

<gospel truth>The only time Win2K has crashed on my PC is when I installed APM support on my *really* old motherboard- all that meant is that every time I shut down the PC would turn on again, wait 30 seconds, spin up the hard disk, then boot Windows. Ah well, APM doesn't really matter, does it?</gospel truth>

<interesting thought> Did you say 'gospel' because you feel there was some devine intervention at work here?</interesting thought>

PARADE! for the end of school!

Is that the 'end of term' or the 'end of actually having any schools'

The latter does sound sweet doesn't it.
