Re: A89: Why is 89 so unstable?




hi,
yeah, i thing you're right.  89 is pretty unstable. 
last time, i downloaded doors and some games.  then i
played them, and started doing my homework.  i had a
problem in the book which was sqrt(3+3+3+3+3+3).  i
put that in the calculator and the calculator froze.
