I opened a group "TI Community" on frappr. Go there and pin where you live. Should be funny if everyone does that, so we see where we all live.
If you don't know what a frappr is, go there, you'll know.

Some one should send ticalc.org this info, so they can post it as news. We could get many more programmers on there that way.

Frappr is quite horribly broken in Opera... unless there really are people who live in the ocean here!
(Clicking on them jumps to the US, so I assume it's a bug in the map software).

Basically all place names in the U.S. are named after English, French, or Spanish places, or their original Native American names.

Well, according to the
ticalc.org poll there are two people that live somewhere beneath the ocean.
And why use Opera?
Mozilla firefox is so much better.

I liked the speed of Opera. Then I got the Firefox beta 1.5. Owned.

We could inform UTI, ticalc, calcwebzine, and the other programming groups of this to increase our data.
