Come on, what's the TI-86 REALLY like?
Well, the TI-86 isn't on sale here in England yet, so perhaps one of you
luckier chaps over there in America can fill me in with a bit more detail
on it. I've read all the specs, etc. and am following the thread about
whether it has an assembler or not with interest, but I have two questions
that can only be answered by someone who has had their grubby hands on one.
1 What is the manual like? My TI-85 came with an awful manual, both
unfriendly and full of errors, so I do hope that they've done it better
this time. It would be hard to do it worse!
2 How fast is it subjectively compared to the TI-85? Is there any
perceptible speed difference? During the last few days I've played with
an HP38 (not the 48) which seemed very slow indeed, and a Casio fx-9700
(spit!) which is really very snappy indeed; noticably quicker than my
TI-85 anyway.
Thanks for any information---I'm very interested in your first impressions
of the TI-86.
Cheers,
Dick
