Do these sites ships outside United States and do they charge a lot for it, though? I know that on Ebay, just by buying a tiny graphing calculator device, people from USA charges me $40 for shipping fees most of the time, and it takes 3-4 weeks for the item to arrive. Granted, the price would be much lower than in Canada, but if they charge incredibly high for shipping and I end up paying more in the end... D:

Wow. maybe you should have them send them to someone in the US, who could send it to you ;)

Actually he refers to the Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus, 84 Plus, 89 Titanium, TI-Nspire series or even Casio FX-9860G and Prizm graphic/graphing calculators we use in late hi school and college. Being the main Omnimaga website theme, several people around here love to program games, be it using the built-in program editor or via assembly/C language, for those devices, and some other people around here used to do so. Of course we got some computer/web programmers too, though.

I was just reading about them so I would know what your abrev would mean in the future.  I knew the site was for coders but when I stumbled upon DJ's thread when surfing the web for the "future of personal computers" I thought I would join and offer him my subjective point of view about desktop computers.  I've connected to desktops and laptops Windows OSes only about 3000 imes since 2003.

It's all on my web site.

OK. Like i said, we'll like you all the same. :)

Welcome OnlineGolfer! Those are all good and valid points you make there. I doubt PC's are going anywhere, but the portable market does really seem to have exploded lately with all these notebooks, tablet pcs and even phones that seem to do damn near everything.

Anyhow, I don't know what your interests are, but other than calculator programming there are many PC programmers, musicians and gamers here as well. Maybe you'll find something that suits your interests here. :)
