     Sure it only takes a few seconds to change cards but there are also
 dangers with changing the card, aren't there? Like accidentally turning the
 calculator on when removing the card or inserting the card. And what does
 the increased insertion and removal of cards do to the internal contacts of
 the calculator. Has HP released any info on contact wear??

          Just a few of my concerns.
