Re: Why Ti 80 etc. ?
Well, thats all good and fine, but I don't really think that the number makes
any difference what so ever. Who cares about the little print on the front,
they could name it the ti-1006 for all I care. If it works, and works well
thats good enough for me. I'm sure ti had their reasons when they named their
calculators, and if they didn't all the better.
