<p>Momom77 Yes my classmates support me. I guess I should just say that I’m glad you and I are not in the same school district–it sounds like our school districts do not work in the same way.</p>
<p>I sorta agree with Momom77. Our teachers clear our calculators before every final. I can understand why losing your programs would annoy you, but once you figure out how to store them on your computer that should be just a minor annoyance.</p>
<p>I personally don’t feel as if it’s worth making a big deal out of, especially if it could possibly put you on your teacher’s bad side. I’m sure you’ve heard the expression choose your battles wisely, right? Is this a battle worth fighting?</p>
<p>Cornball I think this battle is worth fighting. I think calculator deletion is sheer blasphemy, especially when it is based on a nonexistant policy. Had this policy been announced in advance, then I would not be in this math class. I would have worked on that battle instead. </p>
<p>And you are talking about a final exam–you are well aware of that in advance I’d presume by the end of the school year. I’m talking about any day at the teacher’s whim.</p>
<p>There are tons of YT tutorials online. And yes, you can just create a .txt file and transfer it over as a TI-Basic program. Rather than using Notepad++, you could just use a dedicated TI-Basic IDE like [TI-Coder</a> 1.0 - ticalc.org](<a href=“http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/396/39658.html]TI-Coder”>TI-Coder 1.0 - ticalc.org)</p>
<p>Well, good luck then. Hope you can get the policy changed. :D</p>
<p>slucy523 How could I convert a .txt to a Ti-Basic program with the proper extension? It also looks like Ti-Coder is for Windows users? What should a Mac user do?</p>
<p>You’d have to run Tokens on a Mac, by installing Mono. You’ll also have to compile from [Welcome</a> to the TiLP web site](<a href=“http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tilp/macosx.html]Welcome”>Welcome to the TiLP web site)</p>
<p>sluchy523 thank you so much for that link! Is that link in lieu of TiConnect or TiCoder or both?</p>
<p>When I plugged in the usb to both the calculator and the computer, the calculator immediately froze. The second I then unplugged the usb from the computer, the calculator worked again. I know there is no problem with the usb drive; I tried multiple drives and multiple computers, all with the same issue. Any help would be greatly welcomed.</p>
