Batteries (was Re: LZ: Security my ass)
I don't know how correct this is, but here's my reasoning: The lithium
battery _does_ work. When the calc is turned off, you can pull all 4 AAAs
out, leave em out (I've done this overnight cause I needed to recharge my
AAAs) and put em back in later. As long as the calc remains off, the
lithium battery keeps your memory intact. I think something happens that
switches power useage over to the lithium when you turn the calc off. (Any
one tried pulling the batteries after a powerdown from within ZShell?) But
if the calc is on and you pull the batteries, you distrupt the circuit and
the calc doesn't have a chance to switch power sources.
If anyone can confirm this, let me know.
