+Vorticon Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 It has become very difficult to find genuinely knowledgeable and expertly written coding books in the modern era. This is where going to a brick and mortar book store and physically evaluating the books is essential. There is lots of junk out there sadly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would make sense to use LISP running under SAMS to do LISP programs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have code for a LISP (well scheme actually) interpreter written in Forth that I have wondered about trying to port. SAMS would definitely give it some room to be useful. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in Classic99 you have 16Meg of SAMS memory? You could use a routine in FinalGROM to load it and run it?

+Ksarul Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 There is also a very limited LISP interpreter out there for the TI that was written in the late Eighties. . .I think it may have even included the source code in the release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary from OPA Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 darn it. -- i just went to do some simple work, of running some wires and testing my connections, and i discovered my new digital multi-meter does not have auto-off, and i left it on, and now the 9 volt battery is dead. -- sucks, next to impossible to find 9 volt batteries around here - will have to order a box of them from amazon - i even went and checked my two smoke detectors outside each bedroom here at my condo, and darn it neither of them use 9 volt batteries either. -- ugh. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary from OPA Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 JUST IN: 8 skaters ejected after a massive fight breaks out between the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils. This is insane. Immediately after the game started, all 10 skaters started brawling. The fight apparently stemmed from an incident earlier in the month when Rangers rookie Matt Rempe hit Devils defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler with an elbow. As a result, Rempe was ejected and hit with a four-game suspension. CW_tmBg0FQeIwnkM.mp4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
