i just looked on ticalc.org and saw a "fake" virus checker. does anyone
realize that there soon may be a need for virus checkers for your
calculator?!?!? now that the "silent" linking protocol is public domain,
you COULD write a tsr on the pc that would attempt to send the virus to any
calculator whenever connected. then the virus would send itself to other
calculators whenever, for example, a key is pressed, and a virus could do
all sorts of crazy things. i think we need to not make "fake" virus
checking programs and work on the real thing. NOTE: do _NOT_ send me e-mail
asking how to write a virus. i'll put you on every mailng list i know of :)

what do u mean with "silent linking protocol" ???
