	There's been a lot of discussion on the subject of long lasting
	calculators, especially TIs. TI where on top during the early
	'70-s. In the late '70-s they started degenerating into terrible
	stuff like the TI-31 and TI-57 (I'm not sure about the last one).
	Things that lasted 3 months or sometimes even shorter. Double
	pressing of "3" and other not to pleasant surprises (recognize?).

	If you've got an old TI from '73, take care of it well, it's one
	h*ll of a calculator. :-) It'll last almost forever.

	TI does has not kept up their quality the same way that HP has.
	They've headed for the low-budget market.
