[A83] Re: NimbusOS





How did any language evolve? I presume you lecture at people when they say 
"Aren't you going" (example taken from jargon lexicon, 
http://info.astrian.net/jargon/ ). The name for the TI-83 circa 1996 (I 
would say '96, but that is slang, *GASP!!!*)
was made before the + nomiculture was devised. If TI was smart, they would 
have called the 83+ (I hope that isn't TOO incorrect for your mental parser) 
the 83.5 or even the 84, but they called it a somewhat bad name, so us nerds 
have to fix that. It may not be the exact term, but neither is any jargon. 
Hackers have theirs, http://info.astrian.net/jargon/ , we have ours.
