n: The latest “Nspire” model would be released claiming to make all previous models obsolete despite having far fewer features and more limitations

n+1: Every operation on this new model would have to be typed as function names with arguments (e.g., “cook(3, 100)” (three minutes on high/100%), “stop()”, “opendoor()”) followed by Enter because of the lack of a getKey function

n+2: Someone would release a project to allow third-party ASM programming in order to address the above issue, but TI would keep releasing OS updates in an attempt to stop it and/or threaten with DMCA notices

n+3: The timer could only be set in increments of one minute, even though the earlier models let you enter times in minutes and seconds

n+4: Fortunately, you could just plug in an 84+ keypad and use the much simpler, more convenient interface that the previous 83+/84+ models had instead

n+5: There would be a child safety lock feature called “push to test” that would prevent the microwave from activating, but you'd have to get a special link cable and connect to another microwave of the same model when you wanted to use it again

n+7. There would only be five different meals you could cook, until you hacked it to support all meals.
n+8. It would have emulation support of older model microwaves, but switching between modes would wear out the microwave.
48. Meals would come out monochrome, only consisting of charcoal and ash. If you use assembly, then you can get food in grayscale, or blue food.

XD Nice one.

49: The first few models wouldn't even come with a timer. As a result, cooking times would have errors of up to 35%.

Haha, that's my favorite one so far.  ;D

50: "Blue food" would be extremely damaging to the microwave itself and would be produced by spontaneous combustion.
51: This "blue food" would be extremely unpredictable. It would almost always be overcooked in weird, horizontal patterns.

52: Your microwaves food has to be 2D, because the graph system can't support 3D food.

53: The microwave fan would consist of a single blade spinning on an axle. It would in fact support a more efficient eight=blade fan, and the blades are already included and ready to use, but you'll have to use your imagination to activate it.

(That's a reference to Circle(X,Y,R,{i}), if you didn't get it at first.)

LOL, that is hilarious.  :P  btw, why didn't TI make the {i} one default, and why "{i}"?  ???

52: Your microwaves food has to be 2D, because the graph system can't support 3D food.
54. If you get the advanced model, which also supports solving recipes, you can cook 3D food.
55. That advanced model will get a remake sometime in the future, breaking compatibility with many types of food. Someone writes a patch to fix the food.
56. TI also makes a really simple model, which can only cook simple types of food. However, you can patch the OS of the original model to run on the simple model, as they both have identical hardware.

Actually, any complex list would work. Even {3984e^194i}. TI is weird :P

I tried storing {i} into L1, and tried Circle(0,0,5,L1, but that doesn't work.  ???

57: There is a Cancel button (which also happens to be the button that turns the microwave on). However, cancelling before it finishes heating your food gives an ERR:BREAK with an option to find the place where the food hasn't been heated yet.
