Where's the option "I've never used it"?

Or even, "I've only used it a couple of times"?

But we don't need to complain about the surveys. I'm always reading comments about how there aren't appropriate choices for the surveys. If you're so pissed, why not turn them off?

Some people just like to take every possible opportunity to complain.

It's up there now.

it does not appear to be logging votes for that, however

My biggest gripe is that when you're searching through files, it doesn't tell you what calculator that file is for. Even looking at the target by rolling over the link doesn't work because the file description pages don't use the same system as the archives (which are organized conveniently by calculator).

Ya. What he said.

ya, thats the worst thing about it.

Good Point! They need to reorganize the way search results are displayed. Perhaps a table should be formed with columns for calc type and program type (similar to the front page)?

yes my thoughts exaktly

i think it's great, whatever i need is there!

I'm in the majority and I'd rather give up my 89 than use that!!! I think it says something, but that's just IMNSOP.

Sorry, you're not in the majority anymore...

I voted OK. Usually the results I get are too broad and have nothing to do with the item I'm looking for.

Have you tried using the boolean operators (i.e. AND or OR or NOT)? They can narrow down your search drastically.

I never use it, I never look at the news items, nor do I look for a specific program, I just look around and find all kinds of interesting programs. I don't need it.

Thats great no one cares what you think do or talk about

????

I personally don't use the engine because I rarely donwload anything from anywhere anymore. I just voted for "It's OK" because I think that ticalc.org secretly logs whatever I do into their computers. Kinda like a Big Brother issue, but to an extent.

If I were you, (and I'm not Alex, so I can't be you) I'd be more concerned about your government logging your searched for bomb-making instructions than Nick snickering at your search for "Natalie AND Portman AND 86)

What do you think the issue over the hard-wired serial #s in PIIIs was actually about? Precisely what you mentioned

That's why I have a PII

And why my next computer will have an Athlon
i'm currently using a P200mhz mmx

I never thought about that, but I hear that the Athlon is FASTER than the Intel PIII.

The system bus is faster (200MHz), and its architecture is more streamlined and scalable (L2 cache can, according to specs, be scaled up to 8MB!!!) than any other consumer processor available. It has the most streamlined floating point engine available in consumer chips. The only downside that I have found as yet is it appears to have a 768MB limit on system RAM.
I'd love to see how fast it can run if its submerged in liquid N2 =]

So your saying that the AMD Athlon is better than the PIII in more aspects than just speed, I also hear the AMD is cheaper. So, in light of all this, would you buy Intel or AMD?

I wonder if P4's will have the serial #'s

Its almost guaranteed, because once Intel has a way to track users, they probably won't want to give it up without a government mandate, and the CIA probably uses it to track users as well. The Itanium is almost guaranteed to include the same "feature" as well.

Doesn't it give you that warm fuzzy feeling all over?
:P

Most likeley. P4's probably wont include the feture to turn the serial number off, like the PIII supposedly does.

Supposedly being the key word.

Well said!
