No need to apologize, RL stuff always comes first. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Just so long as your fit and well....that is the true priority....everything else is of secondary importance

Ok, two months, no word.

Just doing some thread necro to see if there is life left in SH4 (whatever you wanna call it)?

If so, cool, I'd love to help test.

Since I have no programing skills I can't offer to help code (the last programming language I used was BASIC and no, that wasn't visual BASIC, think back before that).

If no one else has offered I'll step in and do what I can to be your "ideas project manager" But I'm making no gaurantees as to what you'll think of my work. I've never done this kind of thing before but I'll try. Only condition is that I get a mention in the credits, and if you ever sell the code or make any money off this program I want a small cut (say 10% of Gross?).

Just let me know.

I feel the same way. I too have been watching for this application and I too have not seen anything but I too would like to see it released.

Odd, I too knew BASIC before it went visual, about 4 different versions (depending on the system)

Able72 · 03-31-08, 11:02 PM

hehe, I knew one version. The one used on the Trash 80 coco 2 lol.

I was not to fluent in the TRS-80 COCO but I new the BASIC for all other TRS-80's 1-4, Apple IIe, Tele-Type (roll paper & paper tape, no monitor), Commodore Vic=20 & 128d, Hazeltine, and MS BASIC. Each had there on quirks but at least there were enough similarities. all known before graduating High School

It was almost funny, when I took BASIC in a Tech School in order to try for a CS or CIS degree, I actually got a "D" because I knew more then the teacher and he did not like it. I never did get either degree.

I had a bad habit of questioning every dumb statement he made.

example, the symbol "$" is called a string, yet he kept calling it a "dollar sign". When I questioned him on this, he just stated that he did not want the other classmates to get confused.

On a test, He asked:
"what does 1k" stand for?
I answered 1024. I was graded wrong because he had not taught that yet and expected the other students to write 1000.

If I had know at that time that I could have challenged my grade, I would have. I did not find out for 1½ years later, when I was about to leave the Tech Collage.

I should have known this teacher that thought he was better then anyone else would be a problem, with a name like Phil Bugg. He had a huge ego and did not like to be questioned.
