Or maybe he's just going to do games - I gave a VALID suggestion, did I
not?  And you jumped on me like a rabid dog.  I do not appreciate being
treated that way, nor would any other person, you need to learn some manners.

Actually, no, you must be thinking of someone else.  Upon my durration on
this list (about 2 years, I think) TI has never intervened except to give
various tidbits of information (such as calc order, why certain things act
the way they do [like the temp thing], and to announce the 86.

I personally do not think programming games on the calculator is stupid,
frankly I think most math programs are stupid.  But do I yell and scream at
every person who decides to post about a math program?  Nope, I respect
that, unlike you, who jumped at the idea of using Assembly.

Yes, most of the people bought their calculator for math stuff - but I bet
at least 75% of this list is at least interested in game programming as a
benifit.  Just because you lit a fire for light doesn't mean you can't
enjoy the heat it is giving off.  Hell, my CALCULUS teacher even uses
Z-Shell to play games while we're taking tests!

You, sir, are very close minded and extremely opressive.
