Normally when that happens, my calc warns long enough in advance. (normally a few days) x.x

Ya, I know. I have no idea why it waited so long. :(

Edit:
Got the file recreated (and somewhat optimized). Still working on it a little but here is a screenshot of what I have so far.

Screenshot is of the same thing, the second one is just a lower frame rate to help accommodate some browsers.

My calculator almost never gives me the batteries low warning except when the batteries are less than five seconds from being dead (I've already lost a lot of code because of this :(). I think the battery test doesn't work well with rechargeable batteries.

Mhmm rechargeable batteries, that might explain why :S.

TI should have added a mode users can choose to set the calc in rechargeable battery mode, so the message show up longer

I don't think rechargeable batteries are even recommended for things like graphing calculators :P

Were they dollar store batteries or something? I know those sometimes suddently die. In my case, once, the message never actually got to show up. My calc waited until I exit programs to shut down, though, so I was safe.

That could be, it wasn't one of the more famous battery brands so they could have been cheep ones. I'm still optimizing the code, or attempting to, so I can probably post it later today sometime.

Ever since the first time I lost a program (Actually it was all of them, since I didn't know about archiving yet.) to a battery death, I've been replacing my batteries once every week.  :P  I have to buy the 144 packs to keep from getting batteries every month.

Indeed. Sudden RAM clears can be very devastating.
I also wish you good luck! :)

Can you tell me where do you get those? O.o

The largest I ever seen was at the Zellers store close to my home and it was 64, if I remember. I also remember a store near the Staples store where they sold packs of 12 cheap AAA batteries for $1.49, but the expiration date was close and at least one per pack wasn't working.

Well, I get mine at Costco.  (Do they have those in Canada?)  But here's a link online (for Staples): http://www.staples.com/Duracell-AAA-Alkaline-Batteries-144-Pack/product_751596
btw, this isn't advertising, is it?

EDIT:  It lasts for a little under half a year, I don't like running out of batteries.  :P.  (I have a lesser used TI-84+, for those who were wondering about my math.  :P)

EDIT:  wow, the batteries I linked to sure are expensive...  The packs where I get them are like 70 bucks.
