Well, the thing is, I believe you can (correct me f I am wrong) use your
calculator on the PSAT's/SAT's without deleting the memory.  They call it
preparation for the test.  I guess they figure if you can put it there, you
muxt know how to do it (not alltogether true, but... eh, I'm not
complaining, I take my PSAT's Saturday =)...)
