with a couple of modifications, the casio GFX whatever case would be pretty
good. It is far more durable than the (admittedly) flimsy-looking TI86 or
TI83 case and it is also a lot deeper, thusly leaving room for more cruical
junx.
How about somewhere convenient to fit overclock / backlighting switches?
Going really overboard you could shove a Metal Hydride recharging mechanism
in there...
As for shoving batteries in cylindrical thingies, why? I´d be all nasty to
pull out of the bottom of your bag.

Did you know that the muzzle energy of an M2 is 13,850 joules for a .50
(12.7mm) round? This means that, on impact, it exerts a pressure equal to
about 220 newtons per square MILLIMETRE??? (approx. 22 kilos.)
Now imagine what it would do to a spanking new TI-86, all shiny and nice
cos it just came out of it´s little styrofoam (or whatever) packaging junx.
Oh, in addition to pure kinetic damage, the M2s .50 rounds explode on impact.
Do you consider not having a social life a handicap when you´re on a TI
mailing list?
