ENOUGH WITH ALL OF THE OPINIONS!!! Instead of making up opinions to
answer the origional question that began this thread why doesn't
somebody actually try making a program in TI-BASIC and then make the
exact same program in assembler to see which one is smaller. Actually i
will do this experiment my self and then post the results of my
experiment here on List-ZShell.
