| Has anyone made a mouse type thing for you calc? I don't mean something that uses the arrow keys, but a real mouse attached at the link port. |

Whoa... That would be really cool. Someone otta design a combo-keyboard and mouse set that plugs into the com port (yeah they'd be slow, but they would be better than nothing).
Ninjas love mice... Oh yeah...

It depends on who writes the assembly for the oporating system.
BTW, if you try Michael V's calculator OS, you will be impressed.
It has never crashed on me...Ever! |

you cant say windows runs as bad as windows because windows is windows... to make more sense say something like "linux runs as bad as windows" or "linux runs worse then windows" but not "windows runs as bad as windows" thats just confusing

I have never seen linux fail (kernel panic) when the problem was not a hardware failure, hardware misconfiguration (also can be considered a failure), or a result of alpha state hardware drivers for very peculiar hardware (dialogic voice T1 cards), etc.
On the other hand, I have seen windows a clean install with nothing extra loaded kill itself (blue screen of death) in under 10 minutes of being idle just after a fresh install on perfectly healthy hardware.
To say that linux behaves worse then windows is a very naive and uneducated assumption. I have been privileged with extensive working knowledge of both OS's, and can only say that windows is by far inferior in every aspect except for ease of use for gaming in my opinion.

no one said that linux ran worse than windows. Flash just said that it was confusing to compare something with itself.  |

my dry erase board serves the purpose of an operating system better than windows. that is sad.
anyway with the mouse you could make it send something like this data packet
Timer: 0-1-0-1
Data: 0-0-1-0
You could make it to where the packets worked like this
always the driver would prossess four packets(16 bits) at a time to allow for diagonal movment of the mouse
the timer always goes 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0...
so 1001 wont make the calculator think it recieved a 101 because of nothing in between the two zeros
then on the data line the first number of the packet could be
if it is 0 then the mouse is not moving up or down and number 2 of the packet is irellevant if this is the case
the second number would be 1 if the mouse went up and 0 if the mouse went down
it would work the same way with the second two numbers except on number four would be 0=left and 1=right
then this would repeat and if for example the mouse was just move the equivalent of 1 pixel right and 2 up in a diagonal the data code would be
1100-0011-0000-1100
and 3 pixels up and 4 left would be
1110-1110-1110-0010
just a suggestion. |

for spell check just copy and paste your post into a program with spell check, then correct all, and copy corrected version back.
also if you find an error in your post later just use the edit command

| yeah, I admit, it would be nice... but I would rather they use there time to finish up the main page before working on something like spell check which with just a little bit more effort could be done anyway with a spellcheck program. |

i am not only a self proclaimed lazy bastard, im told that every day by people i dont even know... and for me to "move mouse, select text, right click, move mouse again, select cut, move mouse yet again, minimize windows, open word, right click, move mouse, select paste, move mouse, click spell check, press enter at the oh so many words, move mouse again, click done, move mouse, select the text again, right click, select copy, move mouse, open united ti window, right click, select paste"... is just to much

 How true...
Back onto the the topic of this, um, topic: Ask Adm. Wiggin. He uses a mouse for WallsXP, so he probably knows.

Yes, I am reading this, but I did not write the forum software, nor do I have time to modify the forum myself to do spellcheck.
However, I will ask the development team of this forum about Spell Check. |
