That's a very good point. A TI-85 is a 6 MHz Z80,
a TI-92 is a 10 MHz 68K;
they can both graph like bandits and are adequate game machines. I've
always called them computers and, though my stand-straight-and-salute
loyalty is to HP, I have harbored impure thoughts about a 92; just never
quite parted with the $160 for one. (Now, if I could hook a Kittyhawk to a
92....)
Wow! I never thought I was playing with such power. This baby helped me
immensely in some calculus courses I took a couple years back. I gladly
paid $200 for it as it was another cool gizmo to add to my portfolio of
techno-gadgetry. Naturally all my class-mates were jealous. Who'da known
it would be a classic some day?
