33: Know how to respond to customer complaints. Don't bother finding out what actually happened; just know what to say at the right time.

34. It's dangerous to run code on the upper ram page. They might steal our proprietary flashcards app. Lock it off!!
35. Those who code in Axe will be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment.
36. Just make new names for the calculator that way we never have to lower the price. eg. 83, 83+, 83+ SE, 84+, 84+ SE
37. If we don't add encryption and RSA keys then who will?
38. Remember that buggy connection software is needed to transfer files.
39. Make sure that when you enter press-to-test the calculator can never leave.
40. If we send DMCA notices to them then maybe they will stop making games. 

List of stuff I need to do before September:
1. Finish the Emulator of the Casio Prizm (in active development)
2. Finish the the SH3 asm IDE/assembler/linker program (in active development)
3. Create a partial Java virtual machine  for the Prizm (not started)
4. Create Axe for the Prizm with an Axe legacy mode (in planning phase)
5. Develop a large set of C and asm libraries for the Prizm (some progress)
6. Create an emulator of the 83+ for the Prizm (not started)
7. Create a well polished game that showcases the ability of the Casio Prizm (not started)

41: If you can remember the technology, you can't use it.
42: Let the users find the bugs.
43: Make the screens as slow as possible, too.
In other news, Frey continues kicking unprecedented levels of ass.

44. Creative calc programmers are evil because they know howto make the best of their calc.

45: Teach them about probability.  Make it interesting, and use random percentages of whether it should crash, return the correct result, or do some other unexplainable result, like opening a black hole.  Oh, the random number routine always returns 0 for giving the correct result?  Oh well, that works, anyway.
46: You shouldn't know if it is the correct or incorrect answer either, because if you know math, then you might use your calc for something else... like... something actually useful.

47: Make sure a drawing of a clover made only with parametric functions is the coolest thing you can do with the calc. Of course, make the render horribly slow. Remember, 'function' has the word 'fun' in it.

48: And is obviously not part of the word 'functional', so don't even think about it!
49: If a turtle can cross the country before your program finishes, it's too fast.

50: 20 and 25 MHz mode?  No that costs like 50 cents more to make each model to add 2 more connections to the 15 MHz thing instead, so then it can be easier to go slow.

51: Obey the law of inverse coolness: The more powerful a calc could be the more it should be slowed down/locked/prone to random crashes.

52: You have be a greedy person that enjoys ripping people off, you have to be a person that enjoys selling hardware that costs nothing for hundreds of dollars.

We should make a better company than T.I. that sells "high quality" products instead of high price for low quality. Better calculator design, more functions (including a watch), and programmable in many languages. In fact, we should have a bunch of different model branches. One branch could be for calculators that are MAINLY for math and graphing (only programmable in CompanyNameBasic), another branch mainly for programming, barely any math and yet programmable in any language, like a computer (Except all the commands are accessed via menus, and the codes on the menus change depending on the filetype you make ex. .html .java .etc). I doubt we will start this company. I might start one when I'm older. I might never start the company though.

53: Find useful apps on ticalc.org and such, add bugs and un-optimizations, and submit them for the latest OS.  Remember rules 12 and 15 always.
