We're quite what? =P Oh, you mean we're QUIET, I get it now... ;) Well, I
dunno why the discussion has died down, but I'm not busy at this time either
and have been keeping up with programming... I don't really have anything to
ask about, not saying that I know everything, but when I get stumped on
something in my project, its more of a game-specific problem that I have to
work out myself and not a general problem with a certain programming
technique, so I dont bother the list with stuff like that. I do have an idea
how to bring up discussion on this list again, but that deals more with the
next section, read below...

Well, I did get an idea like this about a month back, where this ASM applet
thingy would preform a function by the user giving certain input and then
using "Send(9prgm..." but I thought this would become bad for the TI-Basic
Community because 83 programs that use this Library thing, would not be
compatible with the 82, but what the hell, that doesnt mean that it shouldnt
be done. =P Well, I did bring this up to the TIBasic list and I didnt get
much support for it, although they told me about some guy who was going to
make this for the 86. Anyways, I do have some ideas on what to put in this but
I'll respond to the mail that other guy gave with his ideas. As you also said,
that this would bring in much more people willing to learn ASM once they see
the capabilities of this Library/Applet thing, Im saying if they have a
graphlink in the first place to Get this program to the calc, then wouldnt
they have sent all the better ASM programs out there, to their calc and been
impressed already? Well, as I said up there, a way to get discussion back into
this list are by a bunch on newbies coming at us, and do we really want that?
:\ I dont think so... =P
