This isn't really an RE, but, late last night I put USG and the
CoolShell on my calc.  Yeah, i liked the appearence, and it was
organized, but I'm still not happy with the 2K+ kernel.  The libs are
nice and all, but we need a better way to impliment them (I think).

MUCH earlier on (before I even tried it), I had just looked over the
orginal 85b in a HEX editor.  (I wanted to find some ROM info...  ;) 
anyway, what I found was a series of addrs preceded by "C3"s... 
indicating one thing:
JUMP TABLES!!!
Do you all know how size-inefficient that is???  VERY!!!  yeah, it is
_faster_, but MUCH larger!  Especially with all the new (44?) ROM calls
they added.  HA!

Just M2C,
