I meant a GOOD color screen, not the Casio's, of course.  I have a 2.5"
color TV that has a fantastic picture and isn't too hard on batteries.  Of
course I still remember the calculators of the '70s where you got three
hours of use out of a battery pack that took 12 hours to recharge so my idea
of good battery use may be different than yours.
