Just shop around....

The TI-85, using ZShell (assembly language) can do 2way communications
over the link. The 83, as of current time, cannot. Primitive string operations
are possible in both the 83 and the 85. The 85 has a character set that
includes lowercase letters. The 83, to my knowlege, does not.

In some ways the 83 is more sophisticated, but not many. The 85
has a higher resolution screen, has more memory, and assembly capabilities.
The 85 also has some additional ops that make it more appropriate for
higher level math courses. The 83 is more recent, and has a few additional
capabilities, but not many.
