I have noticed that the "New Files" have not been changed since Feb 22. Three days without new files..... I'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms :(

Sorry, the subject should be "Is", not "It"... Please change it...

Oh come, on, you know what he meant ;-)

You really have to read the names of the people that write these comments. As said a million times to people that just don't quite grasp things, "HE WAS CORRECTING HIMSELF (or herself, but I'm not even sure if any girls visit this site)." So anyway, try to be a little more observant.

Do any girls visit this website? Good question. It should be the next poll.

Factual information shouldn't be a poll...unless it's about personal experiences. But yes, there are girls that come to this site, however they are very rare and usually will not post or vote in polls...sometimes I have seen girls that come here but don't register. They just come for the games that the guys have worked SO hard to make. ;)

LOL Yeah- all of the girls that I know that go to this site (only one or two) don't have usernames. They just download programs. It's amazing that they know how to do that because most couldn't care less about nerdy stuff like calculators...

Oh- and in reply to the e-mail, yes, I saw the MemPi review :) Glad somebody liked it. That reminds me, in class, the student teacher asked us what pi was. I did everything I could to resist reciting as many digits as I could. It's very tempting to show that off in school :) The only problem is, if you do it once, people will either tell you to shut up, or ask you to do it over and over and over... and eventually they'll start checking you (so you can't mess up, either).

I'm amazed that hardly many Australians go to this site, and I think it's fair to say that 50% of students in high school have a TI Graphics Calc.
***starts a promotion ring*** =P

hmmmm... I'm Australian, and at my school (Brisbane SHS) there are 2 TI89s, 1 TI86, about 50 TI83+'s, about 5 TI83s, about 30 TI82's, about 300 Casio graphic fx(something)s, and about 1800 Casio fx82TLs.

Thus, I account for 50% of the TI89 owners at my school. I wonder how many of you can make that claim...

I also account for the 100% of the ASM programmers.

Crappios are going to take over the southern hemisphere... nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

*is the only programmer at his school too.
>need to learn ASM, any good tutorials? (kinda know some* asm)
If I were to get any TI calc other than an 80, 82, 83, 83+ then I'd have 100% of that type. But no, I don't. =P

hmmmm... If I get a TI80, then I'd have 100% of that type...

*Light Bulb*

Just a sec, I account for 100% of the Black TI83+'s

BTW, what school do u go to?

and HW1 TI89s

*I've a Black 83+ too, blue ones are all the hype atm.
I goto a rural vic secondary college...

When I transferred from one school to the other, nobody even knew what a TI was!!! I had to start what we're now calling "BASIC Revolution" in my current school! I was the only one programming in there and everyone was astonished that you could do that!
So I basically represented 100% of all TI's and 100% everything TI related!!! lol
Now we have a few kids that are learning Basic (finally) and this one friend of mine who i'm teaching ASM to.
Still, all the kids that know BASIC know how to use Disp, Output, For's, and Menus! That's it!!! But still, we went from 1 TI to about 50 in a semester.

I know some girls that are into calculator games (although they get all the games from me - they ask for a game, I put it on my calculator, use a link cord to put it on their calculator, delete it from my calculator)

I never thought about that. Although, it would work as a poll but just for curiosity. Hopfully everyone would be truthful. (Yes, believe it or not there are some people at my school who would do somthing like that to be stupid)

I'm sure everyone remembers the girl who posted when there was a story about her boyfriend dressing up as a calculator.

psht! that was probably just the same guy with a second account trying to make himself look good
but ill admit that was an awesome halloween costume ;)

wha? I guess that was more than a year ago. I didn't get into games until the end of last school year.

Poll: What is your gender?
a) Male
b) Female
c) Calculator

That would be an interesting poll, and you could add other choices, but im not sure if they are neccesarily appropriate so i wont state them here.

http://www.ticalc.org/ community/surveys/ 19.html

oh, well i guess you have had them before. How long was that poll in 2000 up? There were 771 votes for "male" Way more than polls get now.

21 days. Sorry about the link in the above post her it is without the spaces...

Woah, there were 16 girls here once? And 3 who post? *gasp*

I would definitely be calculator, which is probably half the reason I can never get a date. :P

I would want to be a calculator, so that I could do things VERY fast, and I could ace all of my math classes easily and fast.

If I was a TI89, I'd get really pissed when it says "WARNING: May Produce False Equation".

Has anyone else got this on their TI89 - I forgot how to reproduce it :(

Yeah I get that all the time...I think it would happen for something like this (I'm too lazy to check): d(y=x^2,x) where d is the derivative. I think this returns 0=2x or something like that...thus x always equals 0 :) problem solved

We were doing integrals with limits at infinity in calculus and we did one on an 89 to check it. When we looked for an exact value it returned infinity. But when we told it to approximate it spent 5 minutes busy and then the status bar said "Questionable Accuracy" and it gave the answer: 34. It was looking for infinity but it only got to 34!

Eh, hasn't it been a poll before?

Yes, girls do visit this site...like myself of course...:)

Hmmm, interesting. Ok, so there are girls (or possibly "a girl") that visit (s) this website. But the majority are males, thats for sure. I wonder if that says something...

Hmmm, that account was created today.

and, hmmm, the account was deleted ;)

No it wasn't....they are just using their right not to display their vital information. Wich you and I can do as well.

Which is probably why it's fake ;-) Well, not necessarily, but as we've seen from the past, some of the "girls" on this site aren't really girls.

Hmmmmm, Interesting.

LOL~

but is there any girl that programs?

go ask Ada Lovelace, world's first programmer.

Are you sure Charles Babbage wasn't the first programmer?

I think he means first female programmer, but I could be mistaken.

She worked with Babbage.

My mum is the assistant manager of the Programming Section of [a semi-major company that was the result of corperatisation].

mine serves a similar function for part of locheed Martin, but I think he means on this site

Yeah... I kinda realized after I posted that. For some reason, the usernames looked different at the time. Oh well. And girls don't commonly visit this site.

yah, I'm just messin with ya. I post stupid stuff all the time and realize it only after it's too late.

Yes, _I_ know what I meant, I'm not sure if everyone (not including no_one) knew...

Same here. :'-(
