Re: TI-89 and AMS 2.03
Thanks for the opinions and honesty. Getting user feedback on this model,
especially in reference to other TI models and how they compare is very
useful and ensures me that I'm not missing anything or that my opinions on
certain things are felt elsewhere too.
I was able to try my friend's 89 and though it's a little inconvenient
having to use the ) even if you use the VAR-LINK key, it's not that bad. I
guess it's no worse than having to hit Enter; it's just another key. If I
accumulate more than 9 programs, I could pick my top programs and edit each
to support the aforementioned keyboard shortcuts. That's really useful.
Thanks for the tip; I'll keep that in mind as it looks as though I'm going
to buy the 89 with what I've heard about it.
Dan
