A86: *^$#*&$#@(@ - (Fw: Graphlink Problems) -- PLEASE READ THIS!!!


NOOOOO! My stupid GraphLink Cable BROKE!!! Right in the middle of
programming Zelda -- THANK GOD FOR EMULATORS AND MATT'S CGI WHICH LET ME GET
MY ROM!!!! Anyways, I can't get any games ONTO MY CALCULATOR!!! I sent TI
this EMail, and they want me to send it to their CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER and
wait FOUR WHOLE WEEKS!!!

 *** Anyways, I THINK I can cut the broken head-piece off my GraphLink and
SWITCH IT WITH ONE from the included calc-calc cable (read the message).  I
know that the Graphlink has a few special features (hence that lump in the
middle), but is the head part that plugs into the calculator identical for
calc-calc and calc-computer???

You guys here are the experts on the linking protocols and such -- so will
it work??? And please reply deirectly to Me by E-Mail -- it's a bit urgent
(I actually had to PAY ATTENTION to pass time in math today =)
