A83: Re: Re: Re: Re: 86? 89? Perhaps and Maybe


My Ti-89 is on the way to Fortworth Texas.  The link port was giving me
trouble [almost a week after i bought it].. I seemed to be the only person I
knew who had this problem [it worked, but I had to move the link a lot to
get it to work good].. and when I saw my friends' calculators are flawless,
I called up TI.  The lady said she'd send me a new one with no charge if I
send mine back to them.. So I did.  So I can't try Breakout or Diamonds
except on my emulator [sniff, sniff :(]
