yeah, I noticed.  I've gotta a slide rule, but didn't know how to use it until yesterday.  I actually made a point of asking how to program for it.  XD

EDIT:
Abacus extension: .abc
Sliderule extension: .old

What's the header for programming an abacus.  I heard that they don't hold that much memory.

Well, the latest economy model by the producer doesn't have much memory, but the old versions you can find on ebay have loads of it.

I don't think it's very fast, but it uses a very unique architecture that allows powerful computations.

I lol'ed hard when I saw the new quadratic solver directories this morning. XD Some of the quadratic solvers directories actually really fit well. I also liked the random colors. XD

As for United-TI, a small calc appears on every page now. TI-BANK appears to have released OSLauncher, although I'm still not convinced this is fake considering DiagLauncher and Boot2Launcher releases, and they picked up the ClrHome.co.cc fake news about the Casio Prizm burning ceremony. XD

As for ClrHome, it was all in rainbow colors earlier. O.O
Did anyone else see the April Fools thing in the RFG Image Uploader?

Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

They really should have kept the Quadratic Solver subfolders.

I'm very disappointed at the 2011 April's fool day from ticalc.org.
That's pretty lame...

Their previous April's fool days were great.
Omnimaga has been great too.


And seems nobody noticed OSLauncher on TI-Bank:

Did you all "believe" it?...

I believe OSLauncher is "real", yes. That it will be "released soon" not so much. Make it not run CAS on non-CAS nspires by default and it should be fine. The Prizm burning was awesome, though. What were the previous ticalc.org pranks?

OSLauncher is under development.
The video is fake.
