Chewning) Organization: Oakland University, Rochester MI Lines: 11 I am a relatively new HP-28S user, and have used some of the programs that everyone has been sending onto the net. The green Radio Shack batteries that everyone has been talking about is why they are bad. In the HP manual, they ask for ALKALINE batteries. The green batteries are not. Get the alkaline ones from Radio Shack (23-023) come in packs of 2 for $1.59. You might think this is crazy, but the reason I know this is because I work for "The Technology Store"!! And a HP-28S user, I am waiting for the flames to start in on me. Mark Chewning The sig is not ready yet.
