Not nessarily, garbage collect will only work if there is something to do.
1,000,000 writes is the minimum granuteed by the flash hardware. I guess theres allittle overhead for safe.
Every 4minutes isn't much, It would take 7-8 years before anything goes wrong.

So that means a program can basicly destroy your calculator?

yeah but it will take so long that you'll probably have retired from calc programming a LONG while before your flash ROM die

I can run the BSOD 5 minutes on my SE and it still work fine, no LCD problems. I guess the test mode (BSOD) can damage the calc only after like one or two hours of runtime, or maybe my SE is special

I bleieve you send $18 to the LCD port or something or increase the contrast to a higher value to do that, or some asm lib for basic prgmers can do that
*goes back checking ASMI28D*

I think Iambian's Flash Crash is probably the best calc virus (personally I have never tried it. Maybe on my "friend"s calc
)

your LCD can die too?
So the calculator is so fragile
