Flash ROM

A ROM chip that can be rewritten with new calculator software. Used by the TI-73, TI-83 Flash family, and TI-89 Flash family. These calculators also make use of the Flash ROM to provide archive space and can be loaded with Flash applications. Flash ROM chips do have a finite but large life span. The chips TI use are rated to a minimum 100,000 erase cycles, and the actual number of erase cycles before the chip wears out is much greater. Erase cycles occur during garage collections.

Quotable Quotes:

"The only dummies are those who do not make use of their Dummies books. They are all well written by knowledgable professionals who have a sense of humor."

"I think that these are great books and you should get it right now if you own a Graphing Calculator."
