Hmm... maybe someone has been a bit behind... in more ways than one.
1) MShell is now being called Fargo. And it looks VERY good. I would also
mention that Fargo is for the TI-92.
2) The 85 only is superior because of ZShell, which allows ASM. Now the 83
can do ASM built in by TI... so what's wrong? If I remember correctly,
the 83
is less expensive than the 85. That's a big thing, most of us don't
have the
cash to get both. And also, I know adults that can't use an 85 ( that's why
almost everyone I know around here is either in high school or college :) )
3) The 85 OS is simple, true, but only for certain things. Almost all the
classes
in college / HS that require an 85 do so because of the more advanced things
it can do. If you have done any length of work with the TI's Simult
functions for
math you will understand.

Well... I'm not sure quite where you get the 83... :)
The 83 has ASM support built in. Check TICALC.ORG, it has a big list of all
the locations and ports you need and how to use them.
The reason it can do so without a Custom menu is that after seeing the
response to ZShell, TI wised up and built Assembly support in directly.
