Re: A86: Re: rom speed
While cold does cut down the electrical resistance in the circuit that
wouldn't measurably effect the speed. The calc runs slower in the cold
because when batteries get cold the chemical reaction that produces
electricity slows down which make the batteries give off less voltage. Less
voltage makes the calc go slower. (I may be getting voltage confused with
current but the idea is right)
