Re: A82: TI doesn't suck all batteries
I'm afraid your wrong.
We aren't dealing with fucking balloons!
MANY other batter-powered devices use the power equally.
Here is my explanation on how it should work:
The batteries all contribute their power together and the calculator
uses that 'pool' of energy to run.
I may be way off, but my point is that the batteries should last longer
in TI's!!
