Re: Slow TI89? What about TI92 PLUS?
I was comparing to other TI's, like the 86. Sure you can go to catalog,
but that requires you scroll through hundreds of functions. With the
TI-86, more are present on the keypad. I REALLY think there should be
more functions available through the diamond key on the 92.
