Re: A83: Help


notice the "i hope i didn't offend anyone. (this was mostly in humor at 
the tangent we've drawn to calculators)" near the end of this 
document...now read that and then go ahead and flame me.

yes i admit it that macs are great, and that they are easily programmed, 
they use basically the same stuff that pcs do sometimes, but notice i 
didn't say "down with hitler--down with macs"...i just said down with 
hitler...some of the stuff i was talking about pcs...for example...my 
modem can't be hooked up at the same time my printer can because of the 
closeness the ports are (packard bell 486dx2 pc).

until i can actually get a degree in computer science and everything, 
please don't flame me when i say "just kidding" in a long out form like 
the one above.  don't say "you don't call your mom 'slut' and then say 
just kidding do you?" because i've heard that many times before and it 
has nothing to do with this conversation (but i thought it would be 
pretty funny if i had brought it up).

so to keep on target for the 83 asm stuff...does anyone have a broken 83 
they don't want anymore or would like to sell?

Thats not going to happen soon...  Ardi isn't making any progress at 
all...

I'm sorry, but macs use the some of the same PCI video cards and 
monitors
that you find on your PC...

every mac manual I've ever needed to look at explained everything...  
But I
only read the manual for fun since the programs are self explanitory...

Its hard to figure out that the cable with the picture of a screen 
doesn't
go into the port with the same picture above it...  :)  Macs have every
card that PCs have...  They have multiple serial cards, everything you'd
ever need...  Now, Pc maufactures make more than you need some times...

the printers made for macs are slow, they use the

Hmm...  My HP DJ870xi Parallel port windows only printer (it said that 
on
the box) works fine on my mac...

the pictures come out lined....oh

I don't think you get the difference between a plotter and a printer...

forget what i said about apples and

I think you have mistaken a low end mac here...  If you'd seen a real
machine, you'd know how funny all of your things sound...

Oh yeah...  Every part of the EII devolpement was done on a mac...so 
don't
go dissing it...  :)}}
