Re: RE: TI-H: Re: Speedy Calc...


Well it is true that I don't know anything about you, nor do I want to... at
this point at least. Maybe when you make something that catches my eye (like
complete mp3 schems that work), then I'll take into consideration of your
abilities. But right now, you can complain with your so called math of
bogo's and mips, but unless you want to incorporate ALL of the factors, then
I wouldn't compare RISC and CISC like that. And refering to me as a "PC
freak" is sad... I'm not the one who wants America to be dictated by Apple
Computer and altered the pledge of allegence and added it as my email
signature. I'm hardly for any type of computer. Whatever does what I want it
to do is what I use.

You standing in line?
You believing the lies?
You bowing down to this flag?
You've Got a Bullet in Your Head.
