What about having something similar to the nspire's low battery message: When it gets low enough to be risky, you hibernate and force a shutdown before it sucks itself dry.

Of course, similar devices run linux. For example, the DS is very similar (not similar enough for programming practicality, but same main CPU, similar power etc.) ARM is a very popular linux platform.

Umm, calcforth, there are actually 3 keys for all the calc. One verifies the boot2, one verifies the OS for the CAS, one for the nonCAS. Of course the boot message isn't for end users. We got it through a hookup to the expansion port on the bottom, that we found out happened to have an RS232 serial connection, and it just happened to automatically display boot debugging information through it. Everyone knows about the CAS+ and the evaluation editions. They don't have anything to do with this, and I don't see why you bothered mentioning them at all. I was never talking about breaking the key. @Graphmastur Yeah, these things are designed to be as collision-free as possible.

Heavily compressed, probably. The real issue is how pathetic the hardware is, not just the space, right sir?

I take it not the bootable one?

Yeah, it'll probably be like real computers, where RAM is just for current progs.

Judging them tends to lead to anger and such, so how about just saying "this is the list of the best BASIC games we've ever seen" and alphebatize them.

What about a time choice? Some tests take longer than others, and teachers will complain. Plus, it saves the trouble of unlocking it earlier since the teacher and student know it takes exactly the duration of the test. For instance, the ACT takes about 4 hours.
I once on my nspire (in 84+ mode) got it really messed up by recalling strings larger than RAM and accidentally stuck it in test mode by running this

It's about as flickery as unoptimized axe, as long as you aren't doing anything else with the screen. Also, it helps to have half-dead batteries and have the calc be cold heck, the homescreen looks like greyscale when you've been out in 10 degree weather for 4 hours.

well, the bigger you go the harder it is in asm probably, especially with that 8000-byte thing always looming.

No.., bomberman is in his sig.

And then a thorough Frenglish to English conversion Google translate isn't perfect.

Yay for greyscale flying bird things! Seriously, though, I want a bomberman clone good luck!

That would be cool. Maybe a built-in compressor?
