Hehe, I only stopped falling for it when I saw the halt loop Until then, I was paranoid enough to believe it After that I thought "Wow, this is a cool idea! We should start having hacking/cracking competitions!" I mean, we could take modified OSes and we could be challenged to use them and work around obstacles that way we are prepared >_>

Damn you guys! What an april's fools day!

I fell for it, only later I started doubting...
But it was really well though out. Congratulations!

Great aprils fools prank(the only one that worked for me yesterday).

I just KNEW this was a joke. ROFL 10 times Great job!
Actually it was KermM that took me off this joke. he said it was just string editing. (he was right)

It is not just string editing

@Xeda yeah.  That halt loop did seem a little bit strange, but I was too distracted by the fact that it was implemented in the first place.

I think I'm gonna write OS 2.99 tonight, with no support for BASIC programs

I got so desperate and confused that day that I contacted TI Cares(Belgium):
Dear Stefan Bauwens,

Our latest TI-84 Plus OS is version 2.55MP.
We haven't released any newer versions yet and i can tell you that we have currently
no plans on removing the asm function in future releases.

Comments: Hello,
I would like to know if you yesterday or today posted accidentally a new os for the
ti 84+ on the website.
version 2.71 instead of 2.55?
It is now removed. Maybe this information I got was just for an april's fools prank,
I hope so.
Because I also heard that the asm function was taken out of this os. In other words:
TI is locking down the ti 84, limiting his program capabilities.

I so hope this is a joke.
WOuld you please try to find out, and tell me?

Greetings,

Stefan BauwensThe reply is what I got today.
