well... In my old school. I was the 85 God. I introduced ZShell, and I
had daily updates of games. In a matter of days, everyone had ZShell
loaded onto the calculator. Well, I moved. Now, I hear from friends, that
because of the increase in gaming ... the Science department, as well as a
few teachers in the math department, no longer allow the use of TI-85s in
class. it is for this reason, that perhaps ZShell should not be made known
and available to everyone with an 85. I'm in a new school now, and it
pains me to here people discussing how awesome the TI-BASIC Nibbles, and
Grand-Prix is. But because of my past experiences, I have kept quiet, and
played ZShell, no one the wiser. I don't consider myself as creating an
injustice, it's natural selection I guess...

BTW, Kudos to EVERYONE who has done any programming for ZShell, it is truly
some great work.
