 for it!

I agree.  I am in the process of obtaining an iR link, and when I get one,
I'll just duplicate it and write the program.  All the program really needs to
be is a bunch of link routines that are constantly checking and rechecking to
see if they get a signal.  Sure, I'll need to write in a display sequence but
it would cool.  Also, in regards to some of the latest talk about our image
and playing it in the classroom, I don't care what people think about me, as
long as I have my own fun, and I never intended this game to be played in the
classroom.  I think it would be fun to play it in a big room, like a gym, or
even outside.  Calculators don't need to be restricted to the classroom.
