I would say that TI will probably release its own update to the ROM, since
they have done it with all other previous calcs. The only difference is,
you won't have to go and buy another 89 to get the upgrade thanks to FLASH
ROM. I don't think we'll need to worry too much about the speed of the
upgrades. TI was pretty quick in upgrading the ROM versions on other
calcs. Just my two-cents-worth :)
