O_o old. My dad's laptop is severely outdated and slow and it's 6 years old.

This is another one of the many "fails" TI has made. It's all the reason to get a Casio or HP calc. :/

maybe he thought he did, but he might have used the original file, not the changed one :P TNOC makes an auto backup, right?

FAIL AGAIN! They try and block us with anti-downgrade protection, just like in OS 2.1, and FAIL! We get dead calcs. Hope TI is paying compensation to these people.

Has anyone considered the long term price for us keeping circumventing their protections without the RSA keys?  I mean seriously, they keep trying to lock it down with any means possible.  We need another OS or something.

No, they don't.

Maybe we should create a separate topic just to list all the cases of this happening?

Not where it matters... It needs to be on the OS download page.

One of the victims has been said on the phone by TI-Cares France that the problem was frequent, and that they were waiting for support from TI-USA.
