The original was a.. strange letter, but in response to the reply,
hopefully the 83 will have a shell of its own soon, as it comes
preequipped with asm access.  And some prefer the 82type menus to the
85type menus... not gonna say which I've heard more complaints about,
because thats the user's decision, but ..  personally, I wouldn't quite
say they were better.
