Re: is fargo a scam

Why aren't they doing the beta thing? If it is going to be free software
anyway, why don't they release a beta version to the public and then they
can get bug reports and other suggestions. Then everybody will stop
bugging them for a release (at least for a while) and they can still work
on making a better final release. Another idea that I have is an
assembler for Fargo. Now that there is a QWERTY keyboard on the
calculators, people could start programming and debugging on the
calculator which would speed up the developement proccess because you
wouldn't have to write the code, assemble it, prepare it, tranfer it, try
it, and start right back over again. You could even have a debugger and
instruction stepping.
