On the other hand, while the 68k calcs have similar code, the OS does not use it, while the 83+ Series calcs do.
Ahhh... I see... That was the missing link I needed. Thanks!

nah, the ROM is Read-Only Memory, its basically something an emu can read, while an os it what the calc operates on 
Actually, the ROM is basically a copy of the entire flash memory of the calculator. In other words, it's the flash ROM converted to a file.
An OS, on the other hand, is the operating system (as you know). They are interchangeable in some ways, since the OS is in ROM (like seven pages or something, I'm not sure).
Thanks for the comments guys.  I know these differences... but I thought TI allows you to download the OS file from their education website. It is just the OS and not a complete ROM... correct? At least that's what I thought the TI-89 OS files were. And those OS files work just fine on the TI-89 & TI-92+ as well as VTI. So... I guess I'm wondering why we need an entire ROM to work with the emulators. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I thought the ROM is the same thing as the OS.

I had my initial visit with a doctor at the Spine Institute today. He said 95% of the patients do not need surgery. However, after looking at my MRI, he believes I may be in the 5% that will need surgery.  He put me on some serious pain medication, steroids, and a nerve protector. He is referring me to a spinal surgeon -- I will see him on Monday. This surgeon will decide if I need to have my herniated disc removed and the vertebrae fused together. To perform the surgery, they will cut a hole in the front of my neck -- sounds scary. Here is a link to the type of surgery (called Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion) I may end up having: http://www.spineteamtexas.com/ViewMedica.aspx?section=000101antcervdisc

After getting the run around at the Fort Worth Brain & Spine Institute... I am finally seeing a neurosurgeon tomorrow at 11am.
This ruptured disc in my neck is the result of an injury about 2 years ago. The disc has been bulging ever since the injury, and it finally ruptured recently.
Yes... the pain is getting worse everyday. :'(

I cannot remember where I read it... but did the original TI-84+SE have more available RAM for the user? And did TI remove the extra RAM at some point?
Yes and yes.
Let's sum up things:
TI-83+ have 32Kb RAM.
TI-83+SE have 128Kb RAM.
TI-84+/TI-84+SE with hardware revision G or older have 128Kb RAM.
TI-84+/TI-84+SE with hardware revision H or newer have 48Kb RAM.
To know the hardware revision, look at the last letter to the right of your serial number.
Wow... 128Kb down to 48Kb... That sucks! I mean that really sucks! I think TI has something against the TI programming community.

I own a 2008 Dell Latitude D830. It has a 15.4" LCD panel with 1920x1200 resolution with a discrete NVidia graphics card. Its casing is very robust! It is awesome!
I don't care for the new Dell laptops too much. Dell went cheap with the new designs.

In 2012, we have the TI-Nspire.
TI-84 - R.I.P.
Don't forget the 68K calcs... they are still kicking... for the time being.

Proof:
That's not proof... I just like the Alpha keys grouped at the bottom and the 320x240 pixel screen.
