Inferior Calculator

I have a TI-84+SE, but even with the RAM cleared, I have less than 22000 bytes free. I am enraged by having less memory than I should have. 24K is already meager; why should I have 2K wasted?

I have 2.55 MP on my calc, and that may be the cause of having less RAM. Or, I may have a lot of programs so the VAT takes a huge amount of memory. Perhaps it's a memory leak that requires a full mem clear.

Any ideas?

VAT? And I know this probably won't work because it affects the ARC not the RAM but you should garbage collect. Since that probably won't work though just back up your programs to your computer, full memory clear, and then see how much space you have. If its still 22000 then it's probably due to the newer OS.

VAT=variable allocation table. Maybe I'll try downgrading to 2.43 (I downloaded a copy)…

I know that each entry in the VAT takes a little out of the RAM. I usually go through my calc every 9 weeks or so and clean up up by grouping everything as tightly as possible, etc. Also, 2.55 uses a little more ram (like 200 bytes) than 2.43, as well as an additional ~10k bytes of archive.
