Underwater Calculators?
Posted by Nick on 4 July 2000, 19:48 GMT

I have absolutely no idea what value this would actually have in the consumer marketplace, but it looks like an underwater calculator has been developed by Roberto Guerra. I'd love to see someone try this with an old piece of junk, like an 81 or a 92 :) I heard a little about electrically inert substances such as 3M's Fluorinert from Slashdot a few days back... a good link exists on the subject, as does information on the Cray 2, which used Fluorinert to cool it.

The downside to Fluorinert? It's $500 a gallon. Dang.

I've just bought the ti92plus with no module. Surprise! greyscale mode doesn't work. Does anybody can explain me why?

If the calc actually says "TI-92 Plus" on it, t's a hardware 2 calc, and greyscale doesn't work on hardware 2 calcs. If you have a TI-92 with the TI-89 Plus module installed, you have a hardware 1 calc, which greyscale works on. If you are not sure which calc you have, goto the about menu in the file menu of the home screen. If it says "TI-92 Plus" on the 1st line, its hw1. If it saye "TI-92 Plus Hardware Version 2.0" it's hw2. Get it? TI screwed up the greayscle part in HW2 calcs.

I use universal os and it works perfectly. I have a hardware 2 89. I had a hardware one but then someone, I shall call him Mr Satan, smashed it.

First question is whether its safe to use an electrical device while under water. Anyway, I was thinking. You know how watches (i took a watch as an example because it is always working and tries to keep a steady beat) slow down and speed up according to temperature? I am not sure whether heeat speeds it up or cold speeds it up but what if we were to put a calc in an extreme temperature then wouldn't it be possible to speed the calc or computer up. ANother possibilty would be to play around with pressure. I dunno.
