Re: TIB: Resetting memory
Do you think they could fit a dictionary/thesaurus that would actually be useful
on a TI-89? Perhaps, but it would take up the entire Flash ROM.
784*1024 = 802,816 bytes of Flash ROM. Assume 15 bytes for the word and 150
bytes for definition & synonyms.. that leaves room for a little less than 5,000
words.
