either way you go, you will have good asm support in a reatively short period
of time. What I mean is this: When I first started using/programming zshell,
the unofficial Ti calculator Home Page (God rest it's soul ;) had only 10-12
programs/routines under the zshell page, now, 7 months later, there have been
over 100 (over 150??) programs/routines released for ZShell. In other words,
if you can wait for asm, go for the TI-83; but if you want asm now, not to
mention other more advanced calculator features (but who uses them anyways
[what!?!?!?? this thing can do math?!?!?] :), go for the 85.
