Re: TI-92 + Fargo = Audio Wierdness!
it might be like my amplifed speakers, If my computers is on and the
speakers on, I can hear some short wave mexican station...
Oh, and the funny noises? WEll, just a guess, but wen you do an equation
it jumps back and forth from the ROM and the RAM and CPU so it caues alot

caulator, naturaly it would go out there:)
