That's really irrelevant as to which is a better calculator, but I disagree
anyways... Forgive the chavuenism, (sp?) but the TI-85's solid and squarish
looks make it seem like more of a "real man's" calculator. (if there are any
real men mixed in with the rest of us propellor heads :-) If Tim "The Tool Man"
Taylor form home improvement had to pick which looked better, which do you think
he'd pick? (o.k. maybe not the BEST example, but...)

ZShell's not THAT bad.

So does the TI-85.

I can read them, and they seem much easier to use than the TI-83's full-screen
menus.
Also, after being used to the TI-85's higher resolution screen, the TI-83 and
TI-82's screens seem very blocky. I much profer the TI-85's screen.
