Hello!

I bought a secondhand 2009 MacBook Pro that had exactly the same issues, but being past the 4 year deadline Apple insisted on meant I had to pay (an independent Apple repair guy) £300 to fix it. He baked it and then put a new GPU in 3 months later when it failed again.

Totally OT, I know, but this price is outrageous. I had a G4 PowerBook of the last series (which I bought new maybe 2006) and later a Macbook Pro (which I had bought second hand) that both had this graphic chip issue. I got them repaired by a computer repair shop in Germany for 100 Euros shipping included. The PowerBook I sold later on eBay, so I don't know it's fate, and the MacBook pro is still used by my son for playing games and watching DVDs many years after the repair.

And regarding multiple programs on the Ti-74: One can use "RUN" with a line number just as in most other BASIC variants. Start one program at Line 10, the next at 1000 the third at 2000 and so on. Just remember to never renumber your programs...

NB: I am tying this on my current 2011 MacBook pro unibody. They finally resolved this graphics chip issue with that series. I always found it pathetic that a company like Apple would not repair this kind of fault free of charge for every customer. Like with the Canon camera of my wife, some of which have an issue with the sensor chip become desoldered over time. They repair this free of charge no matter when the camera was purchased. Their mistake, their fix. As it should be.
