How is this going by the way?

Well it WAS going good until my calculator broke and I had to restart...Haven't had the motivation to start that over yet lol

What I had going was it picked a random number between 1-7 and that in turn opened up a program based on the number.  The program made a piece fall and when it hit the bottom it stopped.  I also made it so the pieces could stack and I was working on making secondary programs so that when you hit a key (I think i set it to alpha or 2nd) it would switch the program and instead of say a l piece falling it would be a _ piece now (it turned).  Didn't finish that.  I plan on picking it back up soon though so I'll update you with it later :)

[Moral of the story: Back up your work on the computer]

Oh it wasn't a mem clear.  the only button that worked was the on button.

And for some reason I couldn't link it to my computer either.

Strange.  How did you reset it?  Just pull a battery?

You had to get a new calculator??? We might have been able to help you fix the problem.  Did you try turning it on while holding the Del or Stat key?

Yeah. :I 

It's not like I wasted money or anything; the new calculator was actually my cousin's old one.

This sucks. I hope you don't have issues with your new one. As you said, the next time you should back up though, in case.
