I know, its kind rediculous how stupid some people are. I personally
find the 82 harder to use than the 85. The 85 uses an interface that any
intuitive person can figure out. The 82 i have no idea what the hell im
doing. Same thing with macs. Any time you add a gui its going to slow
things down. Maybe my school will buy REAL computers instead of macs
someday.
