Ah. And you allege to know how many calculators are turboed? Well, I'm only
estimating, but I'd would say only 2% or less of ZShell users wouldn't or
couldn't be able to successfully install a new capacitor. At my school I
have seen only one turbo and about 50 non-turbo. If half of the users had a
turbo then maybe...
And as far as I can see, "potential for running cooler stuff" just means
potential to waste more space for more people. ZShell is fast enough for
most games anyways. And don't get started on seperate versions. That goes
for library support, too.
