My school has tons of those weird ROM 9.0 versions.  The funny thing is that
they seem to error more often (in program modes). For example, if you do the
following repeatedly:
Lbl A
If 1:Then
Goto A
End

then the calc gives a ERR:MEMORY problem much quicker than other versions
(though this is not factually backed, it is my personnal experience).  I have
a small suspicion that this is all connected to the stack, and perhaps the
earlier calcs have a messed up series of stack ROM routines?

Does anyone have info on this-I could be halucinating.
