They abbreviated "newbie" wrong, it should have been "newb".

yeah, me neither...I just charge.... :) BTW...I stepped in to to make it look like calc wasn't just having mercy on you...but now I kinda defeated the purpose by admitting that because now TWO people are having mercy on you, and now you're in one big pit of mercy-needing...

I would LOVE to do that!! I'd be too afraid of them getting stolen, but I could EASILY go without 3 of my calcs...I have 2 83+'s, 2 89's (one with a damaged LCD), an HP49g, and a brand new HP49g+ that I got about a week or two ago...would anyone like to submit another calculator to the museum's exibit? (actually, I know a company that develops calc apps and asm programs, and it was absolutely AMAZING to see all the calcs they had...like 100 calcs, all arranged on a single table...82's, 83's, 83+'s, 86's, a few 89's, a 92+, a V200, and now I'm sure they've got some 84+/SE's and 89T's....What a collection...

I've programmed many a game or so and a few math programs in my day, but no one has even asked for them! It's not that they suck or anything...im working on a minesweeper game and all i have to do is program the zero's to clear out when u click one ;p

That's where marketing comes in. Put them on ticalc.org or verbally advertise them around your school/workplace.

That doesn't generally work. It gets you all the negative connotations associated with 'computer geek' with none of the positive effects.

i sometimes do that but people hate me...a lot of people hate minesweeper anyway. about everyone ive told about minessweeper in particular were all like,"I never understood that game..." and i am yet again forced to explain the logical reasoning behind choosing a spot at random and that the spot tells you how many mines are around it... (that was supposed to be funny but it ended up being really stupid at the end) :{
