Well, I did it because the speed of graphing equations (which is why I 
bought the calculator in the first place) is usually pretty slow. Also, 
being in Trigonometry this year, I had a lot of use for the Deci2Rad and 
Deci2Pi programs (express decimals in terms of radicals or pi). These 
programs use loops to figure it out, and if any of the three numbers are 
very big, the program will take forever. The program is quite a bit 
faster with my 1pf cap in there though. But, I do believe I'll be 
desoldering that thing and popping in a switch. I tried to make that 4 
speed one, but I am new to this electronics stuff, and I'm not an expert 
solderer... so that kinda went to the dumps. One thing I need to know 
though, what kind of switch should I use? SPST, SPDT, DPDT?
