Re: Sun, rain killing a calc?
I've had a TI-85 for about 4 years now. I've dropped it (4 feet onto
concrete), stepped on it (accidentally), left it in my backpack in the rain,
left it in the sun, taken it apart, and done soooo much other crap to it.
The glue on the screen melted and it falls off now, and one of the lines of
pixels is bad, but it still works great.
I now us a TI-86 though. :)
