You can even link one to the other, so any changes you make to one effect both.

I'm almost inspired to pull out the TI83 manual and see what other gems are there.<BR/><BR/>I know that on my TI-85 I had a lot of functionality that I have no idea how to do on the 83... Like modular arithmetic, using the solver capability, and a polynomial solver (e.g. enter the coefficients of a 6th degree polynomial, and it will solve it for you).<BR/><BR/>Okay, I'm officially inspired!
