Would the comp.sys.handhelds community at large PLEASE STOP ASKING FOR ML TETRIS TO BE POSTED? The request has benn voiced many, many, many times, and the author(s) and/or other people in a position to post it have read that request many, many, many times. If it's going to happen, the wheels have already been set in motion. On a slightly priggish note, if you want to play good Tetris go buy a Gameboy. It's a heck of a lot cheaper if you want to play good games on a handheld. Not to demean the accomplishments of the author of CHIP48 or, indeed, any of the other games posted here - anyone who can undertake a programming task like that and bring it off so well has my admiration. But anybody who spent 350 bucks on a calculator and doesn't have anything better to do than play games on it is either not too fond of money or is something of a lamer. Sorry if I've offended anyone, but this group is comp.sys.handhelds, not rec.games.hp48. Although I wouldn't actually *mind* seeing the Tetris, myself... :-) >Demian Johnston ***************************************************************************** ** Bill Gribble Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA ** ** bgribble@jarthur.claremont.edu Never heard of it?
