That may be true, but it can also drain power from your calc.  As long as 
the graphlink software is running, the serial port is active and receives 
power from the computer.  If you plug your calc in without the software 
running, I read that the hardware in the cable will draw power from your 
calc instead.  Probably not a whole lot, but it would add up after a long 
enough time.
