Re: Programming Challenge
Down with the Hps??? Uh you must mean the TIs? I have been tracking down the
posts in both
the Hp48 newsgroup and TI and in my personal opinion, the Hp newsgroup
really rocks! The
TI newsgroup just started to kick in if you know what I mean. Before their
was only 5-10 posts on this newsgroup compared to 70-100 posts on the Hp
newsgroup. I don't want to start a flame war or anything, but I think the Hp
still have better calcs even though they are a bit slow =(
