Does anyone else know if there is another site on the 'net that brings so many nerds together?

p.s.
Nerd #75

I am not really a nerd but I use my 89 more than I should.

tried /.
its probably the largest nerd site on the web.

How about the official Sarah Michelle Geller fanpage?

Good point.

I actually was the first person to vote for "Are you nuts? School is over, man!"

ps to my hero, BlueCalx:
hey, I have two question for you "bub". Did you happen to get my e-mail about MegaHelp? and how would I go about loosing this account, and finding a new one? someone once said to e-mail him with a name and he'd change it, but he didn't. also, if you get a slow week on e-mails I'd like to ask you about some web-site stuff..yaya.
Steve
ps: 25 definately is slower than 70. but I only use two thumbs. while I'm laying in bed before I hit the hey, I make a program. 25WPM.... :-)

Dear Mr Nick,

Hello, my name is Steve. You more than likely don't remember me, but that's
okay. I've e-mailed you before, and I'm proud to say I got two responses
within the hour. Must have been lucky. :-)

With all of your e-mail that comes in, I'm sure you won't get to this very
soon, but I wanted to let you know incase you wanted (notice, wanted, not
have to).

I am starting an all new calculator site called MegaHelp. I plan to venture
into other PC/Mac languages, but I am definately starting with the
TI-graphing calculator series. MegaHelp's Grand Opening is June 15th, 2000.
We are looking for new memebers, but we have very very high requirements.
Trust is a big thing. If anyone would like to atleast apply, they can
e-mail me @
srivas@megahelp.org
We do plan to fill our 200MB of hosted space with ONLY THE BEST GAMES. Not
just any of them. only the best. (get that down).
Just to let you know, even though it would be very tough, our goal is to
become a site inside the major TI site ring (e.g. ticalc.org, Dimension-TI,
Ti-Files, Ti.fr, MegaHelp). Not as competition, but we want to be big. Not
just some hosted off fortunecity site. We are hosted @ www.megahelp.org .
although we do keep our archives on a free site to defray the
costs...Anyway, since you da man, I figured you'd love to hear it...

Okay, now you can read your other two hundred an 9 e-mail...
Steve

2) Email accounts@ticalc.org.
3) Huh? On a calculator? I do about 80 or so on my computer, ~105 burst.

--BlueCalx

You have better have pasted that or you have WAY too much free time.

Of course I pasted that! GAH!

--BlueCalx

no. the other one (c'mon, post that one too...)
:-)
yup, thats the one..

2)25 on my 83+, I can do really fast on my 86 now though. the 83 is about 35...I don't know what it is about the 83+ though. Hey, I can do 80 just normal. But wait til you see me C-ing or HTML-ing!!
Steve the fast man

Hey! I only use one forefinger! It only takes practice!

I don't have a life outside programming, so I use it all the time. When I was in school, I had an excuse, but now I know that I'm truly Calcubate.

Yes! Next Ti Calc: TI-69. (I'd be willing to bet the programs that show up would be interesting)

<snip>I'd be willing to bet the programs that show up [for the TI-69] would be interesting</snip>

I doubt that those "programs" would be very interesting on a two-inch LCD screen.

WAY too much time.

you know, they do have a TI-68 out there. it's pretty interesting. check out my list:

TI-5018
TI-30xA Solar
TI-81 (very primative ;)
TI-83 (still on the primative side, but more advanced)
TI-83 Plus (my fav..)
TI-86 (okay, so this is my fav...only because of MegaMan)
TI-89 (I don't like this one because I swear, it won't run any assembly games, and its an old AMS, HW1 I believe)
TI-92 Plus (ah...once you have it, it's not that "awesome")
and I still MUST HAVE MORE

mental note: e-mail Nick D. about a live chat session/ ICQ (whatever) for CAA (Calculator Addicts Anonymous).

;-)

I beg to differ young jedi warrior. I've had my HW2/TI-92 Plus for a year and I must say that it is the GREATEST invention EVER...

PS: TI-83+,TI-86,TI-92+,HP-48GX

hmmm... I think someone has too much money to spend on calculators.

why is it that if its calculators, it's too much money? no body ever hollered if it was Legos, or in the feminine case Barbies. or for the big guy case cars or houses or whatever.

just so happens I like investing in calculators...

but thanks for the input
new calculator clubs

CPA (Calculator Programmers Anonymous)
IAA (Internet Addicteds Anonymous)
EA (E-mailers anonymous (for those of us with 5+ acounts on our own server :-)

good point. all you people with more than two cars, give one to me. you can keep the barbies.

>TI-83 Plus (my fav..)

Yeah, the 83 Plus is great. My favorite one too. (Well, technically my only one, but not for long.)

-Nerd in Training #13 or so

That WOULD be a good idea...One screen, two keypads...Maybe have one big screen in the middle, with the rest of the calc arranged in a "69" formation. The calc would be based on two TI-89s...You could use the calc face up or upside down :)
