 it's a damn good idea.  You shouldn't rely on your calc for information
 anyways; the calc is a tool not an advanced cheat sheet.  This is just my
 opinion, but I should hope that the rest of the people on this list learn how
 to do problems by hand FIRST and by calculator SECOND.

I agree with that completely, I know people that use their calculator to do
simple calculations such as 29+3 (i'm not kidding).
I use my calculator to check my work after I've done them MYSELF using my
BRAIN.
