Yah, I probably use my 82 more than I should, but I figure this: If I
can do it repetadly using the calculator, why not? As long as I have a
pretty good semblance of how to do it by hand, its okay. There will
not be a situation IRL when my boss will say, "Calculate this, and do
it by hand!" I feel school ought to prepare you for real life, and if
I want to keep my 82 in my pocket (it fits well) all day, fine.
