Re: TI-86

In my opinion, he is right.  On the 86, a shell seems like a waste of
memory, unless you want to use on of the ones that run 85s files (which
I have not tried).  I had a shell to run games, but it got to the point
where it was annoying when I could just use the Asm( command.  Plus they
seemed to be crash happy to me.

This post is about the 86, not the 85.  You need some kind of shell on
the 85, but not on the 86.  Well since we're talking about shells on the
85 anyway, all I feel is nessecery is a little menu to let me run the
programs, not background pictures and features that really don't do
anything and just take up memory, which is quite limited (we're talking
about a 28k calc here people).

Yes, by the way I agree - we don't need flames here.
