LF: ti92 fast enough?

with a subject of "I've had enough, no more mega hertz!!!"


If you think that the ti-92 is just fast enough and no one should think
about upgrading it.  After all, the 3d grapher only takes a few MINUTES to
calculate a mildly complicated graph, and it is obvious that any slightly
detailed version of Doom will be a slide show, making it easier, and thus
more enjoyable to play.  Who needs speed in this world of high tech?  We
should sit back in our recliners, relax, and wait until our ti-92 is good
and ready to give us the answer to that quadratic integral of an infinite
term taylor polynomial.  (If only we had recliners in our Calculus 3 test
hall).  Who needs to save a little time, when we should take a little time
to stop and smell the roses while our calculator is crunching alphabet soup
equations?  Not I for one!  I will fight to the bitter death anyone who
tries to give my calculator a little encouragement to get the job done a
little faster.  I like my calculator for who it is, not what it can do, and
will not give the time of day to a calculator that tries to impress me with
sheer power.  It is strength of heart, not speedy brains that make a
calculator stand out from the crowd, and I will let  no one, NO ONE take
that from MY calculator.  Gee, does anyone smell sarcasm, or did I forget to
use my deodorant this morning?


For those weirdos who actually think that the ti-92 SHOULD be faster, some
weirdo who shall remain anonymous is at this address:
