Well, while I personally would enjoy to have the source to the demo, and
would probably d/l it at the first opportunity, I have been disassembling it
to see how it ticks instead.  I think this is why Pat doesn't release the
source, because it is much more interesting to do it that way, and as shown
by the 85 hackers, it is possible...

Also, I doubt that many people would go out and buy a $120 calc just to play
games.  They can do that just as well on an 82/83/85...
