Well; I don't think this has been mentioned anywhere. Ok, here goes:
I got this version straight from TiCalc.org:
I entered 'hex' and got the hex screen. The contrast became light (as it was when I first turned it on; I darkened it...) and there are streaks from the letters on the left that are a different, lighter shade than the rest. It's like, perfect greyscale  . So; then the colons are displayed perfectly. The numbers on the left are for the most part; except the first column of each char and the last has a streak through it, displayed below all the letters but not in the block itself. And the letters in the first row are all screwed up =/. I'm sorry if I'm not expressing myself very well  . Anways; when I pushed 'Q' to quit; I thought I'd crashed it; because the screen became perfectly dark. Then; I attempted to lower the contrast; it worked. It still appears stable now. However; I am able to duplicate the error. I haven't tried much else yet. Anything else I should tell you?
On another note; this is pretty darn cool. Hopefully it's still being continued... the last update was March. Oh well. *reads FAQ* |

| That's pretty lucky. You don't see many calcs recover after the contrast goes ballistic. * Also reads FAQ * |

Suppose I should mention just a bit more  . Apparently didn't realize how little info I gave  .
TI-83+, was OS v1.18
It's an old calc, I upgraded the OS awhile ago. By old, I mean like, 4 years? Don't know, was given by sister's husband.
Um... can't think of anything else to say.
Other than I can't re-install TI-OS... it says the 'Waiting... Please install calculator software now.' message, then 'ERROR! Press any key to turn unit off. Then turn unit back on.' I do so and get the 'Waiting...' message again. While I'm doing this I attempt to send the OS file and it says it can't find the calc . Hopefully I'll figure it out soon </rant>.
Other errors you don't care about; When I enter in a 28th charcter it gets filled with kablooie. Pushing clear fixes it. |

I though this was common knowledge. The LCD is crap.
(shade up)Y1 = -10
(shade up)Y2 = .1X^2 - 10
Or something like that.

:D
What's the graph supposed to do; I tried it in zStandard and just got straight lines... I assume it's something demonstrating the inherent badness of the LCD? |

| Maybe that it has difficulties keeping the brightness up with too many lines of the screen? I remember that problem from using too many/detailed sprites in the basic rpg engines I made on my 83. |

| Even if it did, it wouldn't be compatible with existing assembly programs that are made for the TIOS. |
