Re: LZ: Mach-85 (REAL TI Emulator!!)
[Prev][Next][Index][Thread]
I'm sorry, but I have to jump in here and put my 2 cents in...
Who cares what the definition of an emulator is, WHO CARES! Nukewar is
writing a program that will aid in TI-85 program development. Anything that
will make life easier and faster is worth looking at. If the Mach-85 works,
then great. If not then give the guy constructive input that will help him
fix it or make it better. Other wise, grow-up, quit wasting bandwidth with
your feldercarb and get a life. Comments like the ones below are
inappropriate on a public mail list; take them off-line.
