Re: A86: ROM Images (legal battle thread)
The links are there because TI can't possibly keep a good archive of
up-to-date games and ticalc.org does a pretty good job, so they just
provide a link. This helps users find out about the emense archive of
games out there and helps sell more TI calcualtors (theoritically).
