That's... great.

Would it be possible to link each program name to its entry in the archives, in the poll choices? Just a random idea I had earlier.

That's actually a good idea, because I doubt everyone has downloaded and tried every program listed. And it would make it easier.

So what, you can't use HTML in the poll choices? That's a bit overly protected, especially since only staffers can post a poll anyway.

Maybe they could link to all the programs in the news article, as a work-around.

Oh, whoops. I mean to make that reply to Morgan's post.

I don't think it is possible. You can go to this page (also in link^^) and just browse through 2004.

http://www.ticalc.org/ archives/files/featured.html

Maybe the text "featured program in 2004" in the article should be linked to the page?

That would be good but I can't do it. :-/

Of course this would be possible, but ticalc would have to change their php-code.

how do you vote?

?
read above

it doesn't say

*Sigh* read this, culled directly from the article,

"Participating is as easy as simply voting for your favorite program in the weekly surveys and then waiting for the results in January."

Now then, ask yourself, where are the polls located on ticalc.org? Oh yeah, on the main page, where they always have been!

-O-M-G-

I believe they use PERL, not PHP. (Note the .cgi extension on most of these pages)

A more proper title would have been "It's that time of the year again." ... referring to the phrase, "It's that time of the month again," which refers to, well, you know. It's funny that the female population of users on this site is less than 1%

I would call it depressing. I never once had the chance to go:

Me: Hey baby, I added your file yesterday.
Chick: Oh Morgan, your my hero!
Me: No, I'm just your local filearchiver. But you want to get some dinner and catch a flick?
Chick: <fants in my arms>

...I consider it a lost opportunity :-(

That's why I'm taking a car body repair classes in college. So although I'm majoring in Computer Science, I can fix chick's cars and experience the type of dialouge you described above.

Me: I fixed your fender, and gave you a free air freshener.
Chick: Really? For me?
Me: Oh yeah, and I busted your other taillight so your car is at least symmetrical when you hit the brakes.
Chick: Sigh... Are you single?

That's really too bad. :-/ Now if a rare calc virus "accidentally" got onto her calc and the OS had to be reinstalled, you would have your chance... (NOT that this would be a good idea or anything!!!) :-D

I think I've saved about a half a dozen calcs owned by girls (with good'ol CLEAR-ON)...I should have pursued.

Less that 1%???
Maybe less than 0%...
