Thanks, all this chattering about "Hays"... If the thread would go on it
would eventualy evolve to "Gays" as far as I can see now.

Cellular automata? Hmm, for the avarage user it could just be 'fun to look
at', might be useable by universities. In Holland for example about
everyone who will go to a university already has a Ti83. But then, there
are dozens of these programs for the PC, so only the portability-factor of
the Ti83(+) could count.
One thing I would like to have is a better BASIC interpreter, but I don't
know if that's anything within your scope. With things like peek(), poke(),
better label handling (pointers vs. searching), spriteing, graphical
backbuffers, subroutines, other BASIC progs callable as routines
(Ti89/92[+] style), file handling, types (char, int, float), etc. Making it
compileable would also be nice. I do know that BASIC isn't "the" language,
but you should also know that it is about the programming language that
exists.
