#47: xLIB was made to chain with MirageOS. Use them together to get interesting results.

I wonder what xLIB functions glitches with Mirage? I know I could run XXR with no problem in it, but it didn't use a lot of the functions...

I think xLIB uses StatVars, but I'm not sure.

#48: When you change batteries, hold down DEL when inserting the last one.

49.  All apps use totally different key hooks, so make sure to constantly switch between running Mirage, xLib, DCS, Omnicalc, etc. until you get all of their functions working simultaneously.
50. Using DCS 7's ON + STAT Function while in the MODE menu is an excellent idea.
51. BrandonW's Fake Mem Clear program doesn't mess with your RAM at all.  Therefore, never archive any programs before using it.

Try it (with everything archived, of course). When you start panicking, press ON.

EDIT: Actually, don't. I don't know exactly what it does, but I've done it before to my calc, and nothing bad seemed to happen (except for a RAM clear, of course). But then, I have no idea, so someone else should answer this question :)

Just a RAM clear. It's the OS sending screen for when a new OS needs to be sent. I think this isn't even part of any OS but rather the certificate or boot code. An ASM expert might be able to answer this better, though.

Yeah, it's part of the boot code. The main purpose is if the OS gets so messed up that you can't start sending an OS from it.
It's pretty much the calc's "recovery mode" And yes, the only thing that happens is a RAM clear.

#52: Archiving anything is a waste of flash memory. Just keep it all in RAM.
#53: Never use Axe's backup feature. It's useless.

Yeah, or when you send an OS that has no OS install option. It would suck to get stuck with CSX forever for example if you absolutely needed the TI-OS again.

:D When I first tried it, I thought I lost everything, including the OS. Ah, fun.

Some people thought they ended up being stuck with CSX forever, though. THose posts made me scared of trying a 3rd party OS until I discovered the OS Install screen thing that appears with DEL was not part of the OS

I was afraid of trying it too, but by the time I discovered CSX, I was already using Wabbit :)

Really? DoN't worry it's just some sort of sarcastic joke. :P Hence the different text color. It was inspried a bit from Ticalc.org's "62 ways to get your reviews accepted on ticalc.org" joke.

Btw nice to see you're still around :)
