I agree completely! I was just trying to download a few simple programs
to my calc, but they are all bloated with bad code and a bunch of crappy
title screens. Sure they are great, but we could lose them.
Still, though, the idea of being able to keep even more programs on your
calculator is an interesting proposition. Plus, if we can compress them,
then we can continue to improve on the graphics (title screen), sounds, etc.
that make the games so impressive.
