Wow, what a glaring typo...

Nobody's perfect. Give him a break

I just thought I'd mention it so he could go correct it. I actually expected him to delete my comment after he fixed it, like he normally does. But you have to admit, a typo in an article headline is pretty hard to miss...

How could someone possibly spell "downloaded" wrong on such an important news item?

Why? What's wrong with it?

it says "downlaoded", instead of "downloaded".

Ouch!

I'm guessing that there are a million news articles and that statistically, there must be error sooner or later. In fact, it would be questionable if it didn't happen. I'm no advocate of typos but I see them all the time..even at the New York Times Online a few of the articles have typos or have a random br tag inserted.

Times are changing, technology is never constant.

So then, if were walking foreward, why are we looking backward?

Haven't you ever heard the saying "history repeats itself"?

You're looking backwards? You're not using Windows, are you? Hmm, maybe that's why... Lol, and they think that they are 'innovative' just because they copy the best of everyone's ideas and add bugs to them.

Hmmm...

First, I do use Windows

Second, exactly who are you addressing with "Lol, and they think that they are 'innovative' just because they copy the best of everyone's ideas and add bugs to them."? A person would realize he was not innovative from the critism he resieved from "everyone's ideas" that he "added bugs to".

Third, who, or what is "Lol"? You seem to be the only person I've seen use this term.

Fourth, remember the topic here, unless I'm completely misunderstanding what you are saying, your comment doesn't belong in this section.

Fifth, when I asked why people were looking backwards, I ment to ask why people were so hung up on what has already happened, as if they can change it or something. As far as "history repeating itself" (not your comment), the phrase has very specific applications. Perhaps shells and emulators being revising to better forms is one, but not the specifics, as many people here are discussing.

Sixth, why are you speaking to me so angrily. If I made a complete fool of myself, there are better ways of telling me so.

Whatever's worth, I think he was making fair game with overused jokes... Almost fair...

Part of the reason that VTI has so many downloads is that it is for EVERY calculator, but ZShell is just for the 85. Also, ZShell is no longer the best, and VTI is, so many more people will download VTI in the future, as well.

very good point... but don't you think the same happened for ZShell?

Hey rusty, great program! But I'd like to see you expand VTI to other calcs. I'm sure you will, but hurry up! May VTI live long and prosper! (sorry about the terrible cliche) Keep up the good work.

what calculators has he NOT expanded to? it emulates every calc except the 73/80/81 (and you aren't missing much with those, the 81 is pretty ugly with the blue and no link port from the 80/81 means no ROM, and 73's don't have assembler yet, so there's no point).

If you mean emulate other company calculators like HPs, then he'd have to name it V-TI-HP, and that isn't exactly a nice name

No, I meant TI calcs. No, I don't mean the 73/80/81 calcs. I went to the ROM wizard on VTI, and it had nothing for 82s! I know he's going to fix that, but I'm just encouraging him to hurry up.

There are other ways to get your 82's ROM. There's a nice little assembly program that will do it for you, so you don't need to rely on VTI.

use an 82 rom program then; I think it'll still emulate it

HP offers emulators for all their calculators on their site. It is a great idea, because people it helps people choose which calculator is best for them. The emulators they offer aren't anywhere near the quality of VTI, though.
