Now all I need to become a 100% V200 user is a way to port pdfs and a full internet browser. Everything else is set up. Memory, displaying screens on the TV, word processing, presentations, email, games falling out the windows, media playing, printers (EPSON LX-800 @ $25.00), GUI, TCP-IP, interface, etc. Here we come, Microsoft! Monopolize-out this!

Does TICT's eBook reader work on the V200?

yes

It would be the ideal add-on to the Voyage-200

wow, this sounds phatoms btter than ebook reader. I think that i will use it instead from now on. That is after I put the software back on my pc. My mom deleted it all. She is mean.

-W-

Yes she is. I would be mad too.

She deleted my program. Granted she did not know it was there, but if she did, she would have done it earler.

-W-

Now _that_'s what I call mean. All the parents that I know are supportive of my programming. (That includes my own parents.)

Also, I am now officially broke. I spent $384 on a new computer, thus eating up all my liquid assets (except for $2, a laminated 10-ruble bill that I use for a bookmark, and a film-can full of the 50 states quarters, two buffalo nickels, and some coin with Eastern script).

WHY would they delete all that stuff? That's just sick...
LOL... you're going to end up like Eminem, hating your parents, if they keep deleting your programming stuff ;-)

Theres a reason, and I'm not gonna say it, and I think that she way ove reacted... You see, I know the story...

Really? Well, still, that's mean.

That is just the thing, she is not supportive of my programming.She does not like the fact that I have progs on my calc. I don't understand it. So, I have to hide, and that makes her mad, and she deletes indescriminately.

All I can say is, I would completely HATE my parents if they did that.

Out of curosity, did you ask her why she doesn't like it?

She may just think something a little illogical or something...

When I first got my 83 plus, and she said that she did not want me programming, I asked her. All she did was restate her point, and I never asked again.

-W-

Well, ask her! It always ends up for the better. There might be something that she's confused about. She probably heard false information about programming and crashing your calculator with ASM, and she's probably worried that she'll have to buy you a new one. There has only been one case where I've seen the actual ROM screw up, but it was with a TI-83+SE, and they seem to be pretty buggy. Anyway, it's probably something like that. If she's against programming in general, then she is just weird. I'm sorry, but that is.

No, she is not against programming. She just does not want progs. on my calc, let alone me making them.

-W-

But WHY???? Ask her what her problem is. There is nothing wrong with having programs on a graphing calculator. Take the TI-89, for instance. Without a PROGRAM (well, flash APP), there would be no List/Statistics Editor. Now, somebody needed to program it for it to exist, right?

Be like me and get Norton SysWorks Pro. It comes with UnErase Wizard and Norton Protection, so nothings really gone until the deadline or you manually delete it again. It also has GoBack so you can revert your hard drive in extreme cases. That way you can recover stuff in almost any circumstance.

Or you could just back your stuff up on a cd. Thats what i do at least once a week or more.

But that takes a long time... :(

Actually, no. Even at 4x for an RW, the writing time for one or two files is not that much. With the UDF packet writing software that comes with nero, it is as fast as a floppy.

-W-

UMMM... Floppies are fast now?

Then is 25 mph on a interstate highway speeding?

Ay yo. Any of y'all smokin' laden kill?

Uh... well, how about zip disks? They're pretty fast.

I have that, but with being restricted form the computer, i did not have time to unerase before it war written over. i checked, I cried.

-W-

I would too... and then get revenge.

Set up a QB program in the autoexec so unless you know a secret password, you can't use the computer ;-)
And if you don't know the password... it could do losta mean messages, and then shut down. Sounds fun :)

QBASIC can shutdown the computer?

MWM

You'd be amazed what you can do with QB. Really. You can have a lot of fun with... practical jokes. ;-)

But yeah, QB can theoretically do anything that's allowed in a DOS setting like that. You just need to know which ports and junk to output to. I do know, for a fact, that you can restart the computer with QB. Shutting it down probably isn't much different.

Just for another pointless examples of direct input/outport from the ports... in QB, there is a MUCH better alternate to the INKEY$ function. You can use INP(&H60) to get the keybuffer (sorta). Since I bet most people in here don't care about QB, I won't get detailed, unless, of course, you want me to.

Either way, the point is... QB is good for practical jokes in the autoexec.bat file. :)

I have a better idea... Set a BIOS password (User option). Then you can't even boot from a floppy disk without the password. Only way to reset the password is to reset the BIOS. And that means hours of changing settings back to what they were!

Yeah, but stuff like that just gets me itno even more trouble.

-W-

Well, think about it. Is that any worse than her going through and deleting all your stuff? Besides... if you wanted to get creative... say the computer had a virus and that was why the password thing was up there. AND, find out some way to blame it on them. Like, they opened an attachment from somebody, and you could blame it on that. Anyway, I'd completely hate my parents if they did that to me, so I would do everything I could to get them back. (*stab* *stab*)

Yes. It would be worse. You just described the epitany of dumb. Then he wouldn't have a computer for, well, a few years...

That's what the (*stab* *stab*) part is for.

LOL... j/k, that's a little... sick.

But anyway, just ASK her what the heck is her problem with that. And besides, she can't just go in and delete your stuff. That's REALLY mean. Ugh.

She can, and does. And Yes it is mean.

-W-

That makes me sick.
