Re: A85: ASM programmer wanted
I said nothing about charging money for games. Notice the word "company" (in
parentheses). I am just out to provide an organized way to put useful
programs and cool games on the internet. I never even condsidered charging
anything (donations are welcome, but I don't expect them). I agree with you
that programs for a calculator can't really have a price tag on them. I am
sorry for not indicating this earlier. My goal is to have a place for people
to join together under one name and produce quality stuff. Thanks for
mentioning this to me. If anyone is out there and is considering it, please
e-mail me. Your resume doesn't have to be impressive or even existant. You
just need to be able to have a small commitment to the "company." Thanks once
again.
