Re: speed
Because of the TI-92's advanced TI-BASIC environment and symbolic number
manipulation capabilities, it takes the TI-92 a little bit longer to do some
types of basic math. With most operations, the TI-92 is not faster than the
TI-8x calculators. It has to do a lot more, so it has a much faster processor
so in most cases it more or less matches the speed of the TI-8x calcs.

Greetings all.
I've read somewhere that an '81 has 4 mhz processor and the '92 has a 10
mhz 86k processor. Then why on Earth does the '81 do a standard 1-1000
loop in 7.5 secs and the '92 needs 15???
(the prog looks like this: 0->x; lbl a; x+1->x; if x<1000 goto a; end
program.)
Oleg.
