Re: Strange info on ti 92 requested



Yes, you can use it as a unix terminal.  It requires a graphlink,
external modem, a few adaptors, dial-up UNIX account, and the program
"FTerm" found at www.ticalc.org.

The processor is a Motorola 68000 rated at 10MHz.  If you were talking
in terms of relativity, what would you compare it to, a microwave?
Pentium computer?  Car?
