Do you guys roll with two calculators, one + spare battery, or just wing it with the calc alone? I think I might just buy another TI before Saturday rather than worrying about replacing the battery and such. Thought?
I’m bringing two.
I just roll with one…like to live on the wild side of financial analysis.
I bring two. one regular Texas Instruments and one Plus. But, I will be using the regular because my plus calculator does not capture all key punches if I punch them real fast.
I’m buying a battery tomorrow.
2 - HP 12c, one platinum and one gold! Man, hope I don’t get mugged considering the recent rise in precious metals.
i put in a new battery the day before the test. take old one w/ me just in case.
For those who are worried, the batteries on these calcs dot just die all of a sudden. The text fades gradually over hours and hours of use.

The keys on the plus suck… regular all the way.
my plus won’t sit flat because of the pads on the bottom. is there a remedy? i tried taking them all off.

From http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00363319.pdf: The HP12C manual says that a blinking asterisk (*) appears in the upper-left hand corner of the screen when the battery is low. I think I saw it in the lower-left hand corner a couple of weeks ago, and replaced the battery right away. If you’re up for a short break, here’s a recent WSJ article about how Wall St. loves the HP12C: http://blogs.wsj.com/deals/2011/05/04/wall-street-loves-its-hp-12c-calculators/?mod=yahoo_hs
