I was told the TI contains BASIC in rom. When I first bought my VIC I looked at the TI first. The sales-man told me then that all I would get was the bare-bones computer with no software. He said if I wanted the BASIC Interpreter that I would have to buy a $39.95 cartridge for the TI. Also I was told the high-resolution graphics were buried out of the reach of the BASIC's pokes and peeks. At that time I was also told that a graphics editor and a TI assembler was in the works. This may date as to how long I had my VIC. The end result, and the point I tried to get across, was that the VIC's memory mapping scheme left no area in the computer that I could not access from BASIC. ejk47!ihux0
