CalcCon

Ive always thought it would be kinda interesting to hold a Calc-Con, and invite everybody (at the time i was just thinking Casio's but you all can come too

) in the community, then we'd all see how we are all socially inept nerds...

(plus i doubt many of us could afford a plane ticket to where ever it was held, and those that could have real jobs and would come anyway

)

The big problems are: 1. Much calc coders do not live in USA, so where should it be held then? 2. TI vs. Casio... Arguments/fights would start.

We could have a little Benelux party, for everyone that lives in the Netherlands or Belgium (or Luxemburg maybe too).

I think I'll refer to my z80 knowledge when I have to I can imagine it coming in handy with the old machinery we use here at our university.

And I am not pro CalcCon, not that it was unpleasant with Job but seeing someone IRL is something totally different then talking to someone on the internet.

So far I've met one person who has played my game, and one person who has an orange Detached Solutions slide cover.

A calc con would be cool, but I'm too lazy to drive any significant distance, and anywhere I'd have to fly would be expensive.

oh, as for going to canada, dont go here in the middle of January and february becuase the temperature is around -35Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â°C

I live in deep south texas, last week it was 90Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Âº F. This December 24th was the first time 118 years that that it snowed. We got three inches and it was just enough to make a two foot snow man.

But Texas is diffenatly the place to hold a convention. It's in the name, TI - Texas Instruments

Why host it in Canada/Australia? Then half of the community wouldnt be there, or even more... It would be better somewhere in Europe, cause that's like in the middle of the world, and a lot of people from the TI community (including me) live there.

I think it would be best if it was in Holland/Belgium/France/England. Best Belgium, cause Belgium is sort-of in the middle of the other countries. And yes, the world is flat

Netherland is looking better, so I would say we stay here

I was in brussel some weeks ago, and it suckes so much that I puked

What do you mean? Belgium is a fine country, and so is The Netherlands, but personally I think it would be handier to have the con here cause its in the centre.

Centre for you probably, but I don't think it would make a difference for anybody not living in either of the two countries.

Is it true that no one drives in holland because there is to much traffic?

Hahaha

Almost true

I think it would be a good idea to think about how to get there by the way... Somewhere close to Schiphol may be a good idea for our American friends

I live in Den Haag. It's about 1 hour travel though

I suggest neurtral ground, such as Antarctica. No one person can claim stake to Antarctica, and surely no one that would be going to calc-con lives there.

@Jim e: Well, people do drive to the netherlands, i have gone there already

My uncle lives there.

Hey, who said it's already decided that it'll be in the netherlands, it could just as well be in belgium. But of course, the guys from the netherlands will insist its there, and since they are with much and i'm alone it'll be there

Nobody likes me... I'm so alone...

Darn it, you guys made me depressed again!
