  Well one could even *use* a TINI, with or without the Java stuff.
They're certainly cheap enough.  I have one here that I haven't messed
with...I really need to spend some time with it.

  But yes...if the DS80C390 has enough horsepower to run a Java VM
with reasonable speed, it can surely make a decent
scientific/engineering calculator.
