Re: Rude or not

You know QBasic? I don't... hehe... but I learned TI-Basic... and I
don't think my book has been helpful in any way except for the actuall
commands. They don't give ideas or methods other than how to program a
simple equation.  Teachers don't want to give the time and quite
frankly, they just want you to know basic stuff and they aren't helpful
past that... many don't even know much past that.

ASM is a more efficient way of programminga TI calc. It's different type
of "language."  Usually used for speed and using less room. Also can
make the calc do many things TI-Basic cant make it do.
