This sounds cool.  I can think of one time where I know that I would use ICQ or AIM on my calc.
While at school, I can attach a GraphLink (they are allowed in school) but I cannot install anything
on the school's computers, so using the calc would be cool to stay in touch.  I know it's not too
appealing to touch-type on a calc, but I was quite good at it when I had an 83...
