slashdot just reported on MSD8x, providing a link to ticalc.org. Go see for yourself.
Congrats to everyone who helped with the project! |

| They don't seem to enthusiastic about it. Calc stuff seems to be looked down upon. It's a really cool thing though. |

Except UTI, MaXCoders, Revsoft, DS and Ticalc (did I forget one?), where isn't it looked down upon? |

| He meant looked down on by slashdoters. I think MSD8x was a cool project. We could use more high-end projects like this one. |

Yeah, here's some quotes.
Quote: Wow, not even worth First Post referring to Beowolf.....
Quote: Now I can....wait... what can I do with this?
Quote: this article is why i read digg now instead of slashdot.
Quote: what no ti-89T support? lame
Quote: Who would want to use a flashdrive with your calculator? Ever hear of a PDA or even a laptop? Gosh guys... this is a cool achievment for the people who worked on it, but lets face it: modding calculators is no longer cool.
Plus a couple more inappropriate ones and pro-HP ones. It's funny because by TI84+SE beats the heck out of any PDA that I've seen, especially with this. |

It is a very cool project.
I have, we bought one three years ago and my calc can do everything that it can easily. There are some fairly good music players for calc. |

Are you serious? A calc with <24mhz cpu barely any RAM or storage space whatsoever vs a PDA that is faster than my previous desktop P3 PC has a harddrive and wifi internet?

are you talking about about a notebook pc or a palmpilot/blackberry type here?
when i think PDA i think digital address book and calendar with a touchscreen....nice ones have a cellphone, crappy webbrowsing and camera built in, but that really isn't the main purpose.... |

| I'm not thinking of blackberry or anything of that sort here. More of what elf mentioned. Plus how many PDAs can do the sierpinski triangle? |

You know, SQRXZ and a few other calc-originals have been ported to various Palms over the years. I think there was even some kind of a Joltima 2 done in full color for one of those platforms or gameboy.
Suprisingly, the few I saw were ported to Java and were slower than the prototypes. I hate suprises.
