Just around two years (in fact, since before I even *got* a TI calculator) and I must say, I'm really impressed with the job the staff has been doing. Keep up the good work; we all appreciate it!

ditto

I've been visiting for 4 years now, but no option for it! :( ah well, i guess forever will have to do. :P

Same here, but I put three years, not four. (It's closer to three years than it is six).
Also, I only started looking at the news articles about two years ago (I didn't make an account until a long time after I started coming here.) I'm also pleased with the work TiCalc has done. I still remember when sos first came out (in '99). I wasn't to thoroughly interested in calcs 'til then. I also remeber when ash came out (for the 82), but I didn't know how to send it to my calculator.
And then again, I remeber the days when I didn't know ASM existed for the calcs.
ahh... those were the good ol' days...

Ignorance is bliss...

5 years or so..I remember the site with the two frames, then the blue stripe...The infamous blue stripe. I loved it :)

I was looking for some basic games to type in, and just when I was giving up on the search engine, I read this email newsletter, Lockergnome, and saw a link! I got my calc (83+) in 2000, for math 10, while I was in grade 9.

I think I first visited the site in early december b/c I needed a base converter and someone gave me a direct link to the 83+ BASIC math programs site. when I got my 86 just after christmas I maneuvered around the site and started coming frequently.

Go to my website.

Cool site.

thank you.

Hey that reminds me of wayne's world. that was a funny movie.

I've been a regular here for about 3 years. Ever since I got my first 83+ and my friend informed me that games were possible. I then found this place in a search engine. Now I have 2 SE's and I have no idea where my 85 went...

I'm still debating between buying an 89 or an HP-49G...

Figure out weather you like Reverse Polish Notation (You will). Then buy the '49.*

PS. I'm a ~two year vet. Been comeing here scence my freshman year in high school and I got my 83+. This must have been just after some major site remodeling, becuse I think there was a survay about it (plus the site was mostly tan).**

* Yes, I also own a TI-89.
** But I could be on drugs.

After I read the comment I just posted I realized that I need to clear up the '** But I could be on drugs' footnote to prevent the inevitable wisecracks. Here's the rewrite:

#include <posting.h>

int main(void) {
post_commnt_1();
post_commnt_2();
pop_foot_note_stack();
return 0;
}

void post_commnt_1(void) {
postf("Figure ... '49.*\n");
push_foot_note("* yes ... TI-89.\n");
}

void post_commnt_2(void) {
postf("PS. I'm ... tan).\n");
push_foot_note("** But ... drugs\n");
}

That should clear things up a bit. ;-)

I am on drugs:

/* #include <posting.h> */

void post_commnt_1(void);
void post_commnt_2(void);

/* ... */

Oh, about a year. I've had my calculator for about 3 years now. I didn't have a link unitl 1 year ago, and I was really new. All I knew was basic. I had no clue was ASM was. I tried to run asm programs without a shell a bunch of times, until I downloaded Ash, waited about 3 months, and tried it out. (I had to backup my calculator, and I was afraid it wouldn't work) Since then, I've been going here daily hoping for First Comments and Parades.

Same here; When I found ticalc (via search engine (via "games for 83"(which wasn't high in the list, it was near the third or fourth page(why do I remember? I don't know(this is a lot of parentheses))))) I didn't know anything about it. I had graphlink version like 0.04 (I still have it, along with three other CDs) or something really low, and I couldn't send groups. eventually I figured out how to ungroup them (on accident) and, in the very beginning, thought that I could only send .83p files.
The first games for my calculator (an 82) were a game called HicQuest, one called BoxQuest, and one called f***Quest (a kid on my bus made all of them, and his HicQuest was far better than any others that people have made), then Nibbles, then the game of life (does anyone have that one still?), then...
And to think, now I am learning ASM and I want to become a computer programmer; all because of one little caclulator, which led to another, which led to another, which led to another, which led to another. (82->83->83plus->83+SE->89). Oh, just one more thing: Because everyone in my school saw my calculator, I hooked almost my entire school on them. Now, they are going back to being somewhat unpopular, bet many people still have them.
Sorry for wastin' your time:(

Do you program in Lisp?

uhh... no?

I started looking at this site two years ago when I got my 83+. In eigth grade, this year, it was stolen!!!! I was heart broken! then I started searching for info on a silver ed. on ticalc.org. It really helped me out. Now I'm trying to learn ho to program in ASm...
This is a reeeeeeeeeeally great site. Don't change anything!!

Thanks!! -Richter

If you find any good 83+ asm tutorials can you e-mail them to me or post the link you got 'em from?

I know it's beside the point, but I have a mac here at home and I can't find an assembler or an emulator. I looked on this great site for some, but they are all for pcs. If I do hear of anything, I'll post it up on this encredible ticalc.org site!!!

Thanks!! -Richter

i have some fairly good tutorials for 83/plus asm. they came in a package along with devpac83 and some other assemblers (although ive only gotten it to assemble 83 programs). i forgot what the site was though. it mightve been tcpa's site. i could email you the stuff if you'd like.

actually its right here in ticalc. click on the link above and it should run the zip file. or go to ticalc.org/pub/win/asm/ and find the program "IonGuru v1.0"

asmGuru?

what about it?


(ionguru and asm ion teacher are good tutorials thatre on ticalc.org)


but what about asmguru

Was that one of the tutorials that you were talking about?

no, but go ahead and get asmguru. i dont know where to get it though. you could probably use a search engine to find it

AsmGuru rules!

IonGuru, BasicGuru and all the other bad copies of AsmGuru suck. Not that IonGuru doesn't have some usefull information, it just sucks...

What if I have a mac????!!!! I mentioned this on the lines above ^^^^^^^^^^ What can I do with my hopeless mac?
Love this AWESOME site! I especially like to chat on this AWESOME site!

Thanks!! -Richter ( RIK TERR )

wtf?

oh, and w00t!

> What can I do with my hopeless mac?

Get a copy of Virtual PC.
