I wish.  Aren't those a pain?  Try a cutting board to chop off the top,
then rip the packging apart with your hands.  Make sure the calculator
doesn't go flying across the room in the process.  Wearing protective
eyewear is also advisable.

Maybe someone from TI can explain why these things are harder to get into
than compact discs now?
