So what if I carry my TI-81 around with me wherever I go. Its got a whopping
2Mhz Z80 in it. And you never know when you're gonna need to figure out some
equation that pops in your head as you drive to work in the morning or
something.
Actually, I wrote a program on it last night even... Not terribly fast at
finding primes I found tho. ;)
Too bad the precision isn't enough to really do... anything...
