Re: A85: Impossible? I think not
To execute assembly programs all you do is modify the contence on the RAM !
If you take a completely new TI85 and put the batteries in it, it
automaticly modifies the RAM. If you turn on your TI85 the RAM is modified.
If you press a key a the RAM is modified. So according to your definition
the TI85 "as is" can not:
Be turned on
Do any calculations
...
The TI85 "as is" can not have batteries in it !
To me this seem like a pretty stupid definition of what is modified and what
is "as is".
For some reasons some people on this list has a really hard time
understanding that somethings are impossible. I know some people have used
the word impossible when they should have written "extremely hard" or
something like that, but somethings are impossible.
