Re: TI-H: *Great News*




Anyone remember my rough sketches?  They might be helpful.  They were
more of a front & back though.  You could redesign it to allow the old
calc front to sit in a depression in the new case that is slightly wider
than the old one.  If anyone wants copies of the drawings I can send them
again.
