I would rather the list wasn't flooded with people reporting speed information
on their calculators. Perhaps they could email the original poster who was
calling for this info directly. They could compile it and post it for all of
us in 2 weeks. Or they could make something like the TI games top score web
page.

Also I'm thinking that you can't get too accurate of a reading. Doesn't the
freshness of the battery affect speed quite a bit? I doubt you will get people
to run out and buy fresh batteries to do the test.
