Re: A86: Please read this!!! New shell!!! I need help!
Whoever is the original writer should try to get back on track about
more important things. This is a device (since people are complaining
about calling it a calc) that runs at 6mhz which is roughly 1/28 the
speed of a 166, considering megaherz speed then consider having very few
ROM instructions compared to a normal 166 w/o MMX making it probably
1/40 or worse the speed of a pentium. making 'multitasking' not worth
it. so just have the shell be its own TSR so u can have a teacher key.
i think thats reasonable since you dont have to download 500mb files or
do something else time consuming which is the main reason for
multi-tasking. The part about saving high score games should be left up
to the game programmers to decide what to do the best example is
ztetris (thanx Jimmy for making a good game) where it saves important
stuff so u can come back and play

P.s. the taskbar is a great idea if u used multitasking but only for
something with extra screen space
