Re: A83: Would it be rational...?
The only problem would be the modeller :)...the interface would be hard.
Unless you manage to write some program for the PC that could export to
Ti-83 format, that you uploaded to your Ti as a program...
Also, the shading, on a monochrome screen...kinda hard. I've had that idea
for quite some time, but I'm not brave enough to attack it...I'd really
like to see what you come up with.
James.
