btw Has anyone else gotten a bug on their Prizm in which everything will freeze for a couple of seconds then return to normal. it doesn't seem as if the calc is frozen, but as if the keyboard input is.

I've only seen it when I disable the cache. What were you doing that caused it?

Nothing it just happens at random. Sometimes within Insight other times in the OS. It can really happen at any time and place/

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)

Hm, that's certainly odd. I haven't experienced it with my Prizm, though.

I can think of only two things that could of caused it. The overclocking app back from January or the LAN party ;)

Well I believe the person with the most similar Prizm to mine is FinaleTI's because our serial numbers are only about a hundred off. But then again I've barely heard anything thing from him yet about the Prizm ??? So I don't know if he has the same issue

Oh, probably just a TI coding overlook, but the cursor erases a column of pixles behind it when its flashing, but once you move the cursor, it comes back.  I'll make screenies of these glitches over the weekend.  ;)

Ok cool to hear.

Also OS 3.0.1 takes a friggin long while to boot! O.O (the loading bar took about 25 seconds to complete)

 By the way on the Nspire Clickpad OS 3.0, I noticed some weird menu glitch. Go to My documents then press Menu. If you move down,  the menu shrinks down in size, but traces of the larger one remains behind until you press menu again. Reopening the menu again after pressing Esc doesn't trigger the bug again, but if you go back to the Home menu then return to my documents, it can be triggered again.

Ti has recently acknowledged OS 3.0 problems with complex numbers and the linear algebra library.  See:

http://education.ti.com/educationportal/sites/US/nonProductSingle/updatenspire30.html

They don't give any specifics on what problems the bugs are causing.

Yeah I saw a few days ago. Also the calc bricking issue that is mentionned lies about when the bug is triggered. They claim if we used our calc and it worked fine, then we should have no problem. Yet, it's after the next reboot that problems can occur.

What I find truly amazing is that including development time for the original nspire ti has been pouring money down the nspire rathole for about five(!) years now and they still can't get the product right.  From the marketing insanity of turning their back on the developers who helped them become successful, to not being able to produce quality software, to having a keyboard thats the shitz, and now OS 3.0 which in addition to the bricking, by ti's own admission has screwed up solving differential equations, symbolic integration, solving limits, the cZero function, the cSolve function and the linear algebra library.  Wow! All these screw ups taken collectively is a monumental disaster that can only be produced by truly incompetent people making terrible decisions.  Surely TI corporate head quarters can not continue to fund this disaster much longer and it's unbelievable that the teachers on the google site still have some sort of commitment to this sinking ship!  Spending and perhaps wasting the publics money on nspire equipment is probably going to be a career ending decision for some of those teachers.

I found what is was. It was just the exe button getting stuck some times. No bugs :)

@Dingus: It boggles my mind as well. TI could have made a remarkable product, yet they made a device with a horrible display, cheap interchangeable keypads that are prone to wear and tear, and software that has been continually plagued with bugs. Not to mention that their older models that have been around for years are more programmable out of the box than their newest and most advanced calculator.

* Art_of_camelot sighs.

It really is a shame. :(

Yeah, I would have bought a new ti-89 or voyage with a color screen and 3d graphing in a heart beat.

How do you fix that?  So that the button stops sticking.  I have a similiar problem with my voyage200.

TI makes mistakes? O.O

They finally acknowledged their own bugs. Hope they do that before they release the software in the future.
