    Wait a minute, if they are leeching so much money (even if some are supposed 'credit for future') from (mostly) unsuspecting Customers - WHY did they need so many millions from Inv…

    I actually clearly remember that - and at least they did send me something every month - reminding that my card is getting charged. And yes, it still felt scammy and I was glad to …

    So I've been doing relatively well, up to 12 and score of 75% - but then I hit TI-BASIC. After I chose it right, the number on the left progressed, but nothing changed in the langu…
