A89: Re: Re: Petition!!!!!!!!!!
I see no point in petitioning anything. You can switch to the HP calcs if
you want. If nothing else, you could think of the new rom versions as a
challenge (or hardwares). And you should be thankful to TI for making the
calcs. If you don't like it then, sell it and buy a different one.
well, I put my little comment into it. for all it's worth.
