2,3,4,5 and 11 for me

Wait...4 'Yes' answers and then a 'Maybe'? What's up with that?

More file updates!! More file updates!! More file updates!! More file updates!! More file updates!!

I've been really anxious for some new files to come out or updates. I've really begun to lose interest in calculators versus last year where I was really upsessed.

upsessed? was that sic or a typo?

sic? Was that a sick tpyo or what? ;)
I was about to mention that typo last night, but then I noticed his user name...he must be oriental. Thus I gave him a little slack. You however....sic?

You misspelled typo... or did you try that?

I'm pretty sure he did that on purpose ;-) Misspelling typo as a typo... well, that's kind of hard to do.

I imagine I'll use my 86 on occasion during the summer, most likely to do a little number crunching, but also possibly to play the occasional game, especially during the possible as-of-yet-unseen long road trip. I've actually used it less recently, haven't written any new or updated programs, being out of college I don't need it education-wise, and also since I now have an real Palm handheld, it no longer functions as my PDA. But, I still use it every now and then.

Palms are nice.

True, but a Palm gets nowhere near as good battery life as my 86.

Palm=Four months tops, even when turned off (The battery meter on my Palm dropped by half during the recent five weeks of inactivity)

TI-86=Up to two years depending on usage (I've had the current batteries for about 10 months, and I'm only at contrast level 4)

i have a pair of nickel-cadmiums in my Visor Platinum and they've lasted a good 3 months... still on 85 percent or so, too!

I've found that contrast levels differ from my calc to others. Personally, I use the highest 6 before I reach 7, and when I change other people's calcs to that, it's way too dark.

On an 83+? I use the highest 6 on my 83+, but, then again, how often do I really USE my 83+? <flameStarter type=vicious> I only use the best TI calculator...the 89! <\flameStarter>

But the 89 IS the best.

89 factorial? Hehe, I no longer think "exclamation mark" when I see one. I immediately say "it's a factorial!" (like that one right there :-D)

Anyway, TI should make a TI-89! (that's a factorial, there) Or perhaps they should be even more nerdy and make a TI-pi. That would be the best of all.

yeah, the TI-PI, he investigates cases of calculator abuse and theft...

there's an awesome b&w palm game called Void... a full 3d space-trader-esque space shooter. Parallax stars, 3 dimensional 360 movement... port docking, space combat, police, pirates, missiles, planets... it's amazing.

Sounds like an Elite-based game to me. Those games are all like Elite, the "father" of all space-shooters.

Where is the 'Yes, I am goig to be programming' option?? Someone is slacking here... lol

I plan on finishing some of my games up for the 83+, and maybe port them to the 86. And then I will try to learn some asm. And work on my web page... too much to do, and not enough of me to do it all...lol

I'm trying to learn too many languages at once, while not working on any of them. I'm on day four of the 28-day ASM guide, hour 20-or-so on Sam's Teach Yourself C++ in 24 Hours, and page 10 in a rediculously large JavaScript 1.1 book, where I have to change all the commands to work with IE instead of Netscape 2. All that plus my days usually consist of chatting my heart out with Trillian, reading up a bit on X86 ASM, playing way too much gamecube, and trying to figure out this stupid Matrix Haxors game. Any help please? IPdecrypt won't decrypt all of those strings in clients.net.

Oooh, Javascript! My first language. I've found that it's MUCH easier to learn from reading other's code. That's how I learned how to integrate all the DIV layer stuff (DHTML) into Javascript. I never bothered to read a tutorial for that stuff.

Javascript is such a great language. Relatively simple... but great.
