This is offtopic, but I'd like to say a temporary farewell to the ticalc.org community. You most likely will not see me here for over 2 months, and if you do, then its either a password stealer or a fr00d. I am going to work at Boy Scout camp near Bear Valley, CA, but first i am going white water rafting tomorrow. You guys are a great bunch of geeks and I salute you. I'd like to thank everyone who helped me out, and I'll see you guys again in August. Dont have too much fun without me! P.S. My mailing address at camp is in my author profile if you want to contact me or send me the latest news...

Two months without a computer? That would be horrible. I wouldn't be able to do that. :-\ Well, have fun! Btw, I'd be really surprised if the fr00ds came back. Let's hope they don't ;-)

That's funny. This is the first I have heard about fr00ds. (Perhaps because I'm not nicklaszlo???) Now I'm reading the DoorsXP flamewar for the first time. Funny. Thank goodness for google and archives.

Screenshots help you imagine what the program looks like.

Screenshots do influence my decision when downloading. This is unrelated, but has anyone's yahoo!mail account go up to 100MB of storage? Like me?

YES, it did! I was so happy, you have no idea. I was running around the house, jumping around and stuff... well, the good news is, now my mailbox isn't so clogged full of mail so that I can't receive any. And I'm too lazy to delete mail... so yay! Google mail, I heard, is going to offer 1GB? Is this true???
