I am not going to voice my complete opinion on the subject to prevent too
much harm from being done.
However, I highly doubt that TI's support budget is strictly for the TI-86,
expecially when the TI-73 and TI-89 are soon to be released and the TI-83
and TI-92 are very much still used.  In fact, I bet the TI-83 is the most
popular calculator in the class room.  It is in my school!  Besides, how
much budget would it take to cut and paste comments from the TI-83 source?
