Must be all the lets split the group talk >is making me a bit crazy. > > ian Gee, lets see if I follow the thread so far. ian says he will pay for an upgrade. ray thinks this is funny ian gets upset ray calls ian humorless, and compares CU students to SU students in terms of humorlessness ian feels that he should slight SU even more. I for one would argue that Stanford Students have a great sense of humor. We always get a chuckle over Ray's postings about why people shouldn't get an upgrade. Sorry Ray, cheap shot. (It was only meant in fun, so lets not start up a huge flame war. Ray and I just have different views on this issue, but I do respect his opinion.) Now, for those of you that like humor, take a look at sci.math.symbolic. There is a great review of the Wolfram vs Kahan debate, and a guy who is comparing the HP48SX vs mathematica. (The HP48sx is a great machine, but it can't compare to mathematica.) Oh, for those of you that liked mines on the hp48sx, there is a similiar game for Xwindows available on calvin.stanford.edu. (I know it isn't for the hp48sx, but I thought some of the readers might like an X windows version.) Andrew zimmer@calvin.stanford.edu PS. Okay, Ray and ian might be right about humorless Profs. You will notice that my machine's name is calvin and the other machine in my office is called hobbes. (We named them after the comic strip of course.) Well, when I told my advisor that our machines were called calvin and hobbes, he asked if we were going to call all of our machines after great protestant reforms. (He was serious!)
