Okay.  Then, we can discuss the z80 in the z80 topics, and arm in the arm topics. Thanks.

No, I am merging all existing topics into this one.

kidding, good idea.

Wow, just saw this post.

Question: Have we found someone to put the calculators together properly? Because I think that it would be a shame if all the plans were worked out to perfection and the calculators couldn't be made because of that.

That's indeed a question raised by Kerm on Cemetech.
My answer: anyone good with building electronics. Kerm is kind of busy, but he does have access to fun tools
I can do some soldering, provided that I have some time and schematics to work with.

No. Unfortunately, we don't have anyone right now.  That's also not a problem right now.  As by the time we get all the hardware decided on, and the schematics, there will be someone who can do it.  I'm more of a software/firmware person, but I have been trying to figure hardware stuff out more.

One concern I have is where we will get those calcs to be build afterward, if this project comes to fruition. I doubt a lot of us would have time to assemble over 1000 calcs if somehow this project became very popular outside the community. We would need to have a place to do it and a bunch of people to do it.

Considering Licensing and such, copyrights, etc. I think we need to have a machine or something that makes them.  If we do that, then it won't be that hard to make calcs.  Right now, we don't have any of the resources necessary to do this.  When we have a clear view of what we are doing and what we need to do, we will proceed with donations and such to finance these types of things.

It may require many college to do so, though.

^^ I think he means "many colleges."

oh ya .  i should have realized what was meant. sorry my bad

Holy necropost batman :O! That said, I don't think iTouch spellchecking is any better, if that's what you mean. When Builderboy doesn't proof-read his posts, some... erm... "interesting" results ensues...

I'm glad it can be turned OFF. Seeing people still use it even with the weird errors it caused made me worried it couldn't. X.x
