I haven't seen anything from them relating to their over-anxiety, and
everything sent was answered. Next time, let the people who you THINK are
anxious answer, they might not really be as anxious as you think.

A real programmer eh? I don't know of more talented programmers than on
the calculator. How many "real" programmers do you know that can program
z80 assembly? I myself am a fairly accomplished PC programmer, but I enjoy
talking to calculator programmers, it takes a little bit more work to do
what is done for calculators.

Alot of people enjoy these games, and if you don't like the "clutter" on
the list, unsubscribe, because that is usually what you're going to find on
this list!
