Re: Rude or not

I definately agree. Although I'm not a beginner, there are some things I
cannot find answers too. The reason I asked was to find an easier way than
my math teacher. She knows little about the calculators and told us the
only way was to "zoom in further and further until you have an approximate
answer". I knew this was not the only way.
In responce to Linda, and her question about ASM/Fargo: ASM is a different
programming language, other than TI-BASIC, which allows programs to run
much, much faster. It makes much better, faster, programs with much better
graphics. You need a graphlink to download these programs onto your
caluclator. On the TI-86 and the TI-83, ASM is built-in, on the 82, 85, and
92, people have found ways to make asm possible. FARGO is what you use to
make ASM for the TI-92 (has nothing to do with TI-83).
