A89: Re: Re: Re: Re: difference between hw1 and hw2
hey man, thanks :) this is great.
so is there anything bad about ams 2.03?
i guess ill keep my HW1 and grab ams 2.03 then :D also maxmem. i guess ill
try teos also, since the calc crashes often, and keep a backup of some of my
favorite games and the shell on my calc in archive memory incase of a crash.
thanks :) it was all very helpful.
Regards,
Garry Hatch
