which is great, but most programmers make their own math programs... then again, most idiots love them... i actually sold 3 copies of my Casio software suite... which took up 10k of RAM (exactly half of what a Casio has), and did anything you could ever need in Geometry class...

I'm thinking about tracking down kids in the math class I had last year, and selling my programs to them, with witness testomonies to how good they are.
