And if you would please explain to me: what need do I have for an
emulator of a TI calc on a _PC_ if there are tons of much better math
(and game) software for it.  Isn't PORTABILITY the main point of
calculators?  You can't (and don't want to) haul a PC with an emulator
to your calculus (or intro to algebra, for that matter) class, do you?
