I remember struggling through one of my physics classes - you know the ones that have a gazillion students in them with about five that utterly destroy the curve. (By the way, I think that same five followed me through all of my classes at Auburn.) Well it was finals week, and I spent a great deal of time studying for this particular final and had a fair amount of equations stored in my TI-85 calculator for "quick recall". (We all did it and the professors knew it!) Well, anyway, exam time was winding down, I was fighting hard to get through, and I guess I had been to the well (TI-85) one too many times, because right before my eyes my calculator screen began to fade. The batteries had died! Oh the horror!! And that was it. There was nothing left to do but to holster my TI-85 in it's convenient hard case, turn in my exam and walk away. Those were the days!!! p.s. I got a "C"! War Eagle!!!
