Right. You can't run ZShell on the TI-83. Why? Because it's *made* to
run assembly language without any complicated add-ons. Fewer
capabilities than the TI-85. True, you can't do differential equations,
eigenvalues, or eigenvectors on the TI-83. People with 85s, of course,
do that stuff all the time. On the other hand, the TI-83 has tremendous
financial and statistical capabilities which some people may find useful.
Basically, you pays your money and you takes your choice.
