Re: TI-H: Pager thingy from Yahoo, pretty cool!
I wasn't aiming for a mail and news client (although, i can write one of
those too). I was aiming for something like ICQ that allows on-line
notification/messages/maybe chat/maybe filetransfer. Depends on how big i
want this thing to be. Of course, if you've got an EII, you've got room to
throw your games while you run this. This would be especially useful with a
RF modem. Just need to put a receiver in yer school's comp lab on some dark
secluded computer, and chat all through math class :>. (And yes, my whole
goal is to waste away the next 4 years and then go off to colege knowing
absolutely everything i was supposed to learn in HS because i learned it
either on my own, or from the inet).
