Re: A86: Re: Re: Re: freeservers web space [ot]
i'm gonna have to agree with kirk on this one.
this is a mailing list about programming a calculator, not about
different styles of government, not about how some website is run, not
about proving that some people are jerks at any cost, not about how
ticalc.org is run by satan himself. assembly-86!!
