but heres a little tip for those of you doing Assembly this summer: MAKE TELNET FOR THE 89!!!

WHY??? Use a damned computer!

You obviously have billionaire M.D. parents backing your decison to buy a wharehouse of laptops.

You lose them that fast?

HAHAHA!

Networking, my friend.
Do you have any idea the kind of elite LAN parties you could pull with that and your friends?

You'd have a hell of a lot more friends :)

why do you need laptops in a... oh wait, that says wharehouse.

yes please do, and for those of you who disagree, either do it in basic or look at the informational text on ricochet modems (again)!

Nerd # 110

So I'm a nerd, where would this place be without nerds???

Youre right it would be a terrible place =(

It wouldn't even exist

Exactly right.

Precisely

I would use my calculator during the summer, but there's so much to distract me from it. I finally get a chance to touch down on all my other hobbies. R/C CARS ALL THE WAY MAN!

HELL YEAH!!! i know this is off the subject, do you do electric or nitro? i have 2 electric hpi's.

I prefer nitro, but I've got an electric Losi. I don't have the money for a new car! If I got a new one it would definitely be nitro. It's cool the way nitro's actually less expensive than electric in the long run :-)

Well....I don't think i'll play my calc, but i'm sure that i'll check ticalc everyday! Sad isn't it?

I totally agree. I will probably play around on my calculator at least once a day, and I get on ticalc.org always every day, to look for brand-spankin-new programs that I get on the home-screen. Mr. Bean is cool!!! I'm a-->major nude<-- too!

Let's see...
I use calulators at work. Currently up to 3 at a time (two ti-85, and TI-30X IIS) I haven't witched the two 85's with my TI-86 yet. At home at this commputer there are 3 graphing calculators(TI-92, TI-86 and a HP-48GX), one broken TI-30Xa that I use to use at work, and two other calculators that do work. The quanity and placment is subject to change without notice. I have a new TI-68 in its box at this time (TI now longer makes that one). As to the answer to the question, yes I use my calculors in the summer. Mainly because they are programmable. I don't use the graphics except to plot math functions at home. At work I like the larger LCDs because one can see more info at one time. My TI CC-40 is out by the TV. But it only has a one line display and I haven't bothered to hook up its hex-bus RS-232 to save a program (TI BASIC) to another computer from it. The TV set is used as a monitor for a 386 and the TI-99/4A. The XT is on the floor in the living room not hooked up, my Atari is under this commputer, under the table in its box. Not enough room.

You use your 89 as a Nintendo? That's funny! I've allways wanted to do that. My teacher sometimes uses an 89 connected to a TV but he won't let me play games on it. Do grayscales work? For that matter, do most games work?

Oops, didn't see that you said a 99 instead of a 89. Oh-well, it was good idea anyway.

the ti-99/4A was a home computer of the atari/commodore/apple II era! (Acutally, the calcs are more powerfull...)
