hehe. if only. besides, i doubt that Pat Milheron would be here, since he
does z80, and the makers of the 89 wrote it in C. would be nice to have
tetris built in, but it just ain't gonna happen. ti would have a helluva time
with the press when they start including people's games on their math
calculators. so much for learning tool in math class.
