Yeah, I couldn't believe that my parents would spring for something that expensive but I was about to complain. I did beg for a TI 58 but they balked at that. > When I was in college, I saved up and bought a TI-59 that used magnetic cards > to save programs on.

Same story, the NiCads puked and destroyed the switching power supply inside the battery pack. I didn't know there was one in there otherwise I would have yanked the batteries out as soon as they died. I used the AC adapter for a long time after they gave up the ghost and then one day it just wouldn't power up.
