Casio is totally right. What do you think? You just can't make illegal ROM hacks! That you have to pay ?'???$ now just serves you right , heheYou forgot to mention that I and some other freelance programmers (2072, BradN, Martin and some ppl from G100 forum) have to pay ?'???$ revenue for disassembling of casio calculator ROMs and making illegal add-ons.
Btw. when I started programming Add Ins I really didn't know that all that stuff (Programming Guide, Add In packager, ...) was based upon information got by hacking, I always thought it's based upon public information by Casio . So I have a really bad conscience now and therefore decided to stop programming immediately.

it is traditional on the 1st of April to do practical jokes to people and yell APRIL FOOLS afterwards!
i got my dad this morning, i came back from work (night shift ) and he was comming downstarits, so i just said to him: "are the cars headlights meant to be on?", as he rushed outside to switch them off/check battery, i called to him: "Oh by the way, April Fools"
thankfully he saw the funny side

It's a pretty scarry thought Anyways we would NEVER EVER sign such a thing. Nothing that would have such huge drawbacks to the community would ever get our agreement. Have a nice day and no,
