+-----------------------------+

     This group of calculator users has grown immensely since its inception as

Graph-TI, moderated by Ohio State University. As a result, the flavor of the

group has changed considerably. It used to be that if you wanted to download

calculator programs, you had a choice of three places to go. Now there are at

least 60 sites, many of them with the same programs. It's hard to choose!

     This file, TI Net Sites 3.0, is an evaluative listing of Internet sites

which have TI calculator files, computer software, and/or information available

for download. Despite the frequency with which people ask "Where can I get TI

stuff?", this is NOT a FAQ. (For a good one, get Shawn Jordan's UnFAQ.)

     Sites are divided into four groups: World Wide Web, FTP, Gopher, and IRC. I

have included the common prefixes to these addresses for clarity.

     The format for site entries is:



          site owner (e-mail address)

          site name (if it exists)

          site address, with ti directory

          80/81/82/85/92/Mac/PC stuff

          games/programs/info

          notes/comments



     Fields filled with "***" are missing info. The mark is intentionally ugly

so that you will be compelled to write in and fix it.Starting with this release,

sites with incomplete information are listed at the bottom of their respective

headings.  If your site is listed here, it is your responsibility to ensure

correct information. If your site is not listed here, you need to look deep

within yourself and ask "Why?"

     If you distribute this file (which you by all means may), please just tell

me where it's going. I'm curious.



+-----------------------------+

| 3)  V E R S I O N   I N F O |

+-----------------------------+

     TI Net Sites 3.0 -- Changed file format to include more information. New

ASCII art! (12/6/95)

     TI Net Sites 2.1 -- Some additions and minor changes. (10/21/95)

     TI Net Sites 2.0 -- Added much information and some new sites. Changed

entry format to include more information. (10/9/95)

     TI Net Sites 1.0 -- First release (9/26/95)



+---------------------------------------+

| 4)  A   N O T E   T O   R E A D E R S |

+---------------------------------------+

     Please send me any address corrections or new sites not yet in this

listing.

     I also welcome spelling and grammar corrections. Call me a perfectionist,

but this is a public posting.

     Today (12/6/95), AOL changed 'users.aol.com' to 'members.aol.com'.

According to AOL, either one will get you to users' space.

     I came up with this brand new artwork all by myself, with inspiration from

a way cool sig by some guy named Tony. If anybody can improve Texas, the

calculator, or the "anti-aliasing" effect, please give me an E.

     The ratings thing seems to have fallen flat. Maybe I'll post a ready-made

"ballot" with all the sites. Maybe I'll just rate everything by how useful or

cool _I_ think it is. Maybe I'll just stop babbling and list the sites

already...

     Thanks to all who have submitted information. Also, big-time credit goes to

Gene Hart (euhart@vt.edu), the guy who suggested this listing. Kudos to Magnus

Hagander for getting this and other important files sent automatically to those

who need them. Thanks to Emmanuel Cracker, whose excellent Web page I check

periodically to keep up-to-date. And you have to respect the dedication of the

people who maintain all these wonderful TI Net Sites -- if it weren't for them,

there'd be nothing to read right now! (No, wait, that can't be right.)

     For me, keeping this list current is a lot of work. For you, surfing the

Internet in search of calculator programs is messy enough already. Therefore, to

paraphrase the immortal Dan Eble (immortal around here, anyway :), _please_

don't make a new "TI Net Site" unless you can offer something unique.



     Peace and other fine things,
