    That is true of a real-life market place..but come on, these are 
ti-calculators. I truly doubt that crashman wanted to "dethrone" ASH. 
Look at the 85 scene, its a mess...all these shells...diff games...they 
need to collaborate and make 1 good/perfect shell. CrASH currently -is- 
better than ASH, and if ASH were to up the par and become as good as 
CrASH, what would be the point..? All this competition talk just doesnt 
apply to such an amateurish place as ti-land. Not to say our games and 
stuff arent cool, but no one is making a profit, and competition for 
the sake of "looking cooler than the next programmer" isnt very much 
incentive, I dont think.
