- The really interesting thing is that it appears that you can have alarms
- go off while changing batteries, and the '48 doesn't turn on or lose
- memory, but runs the alarms only once it has enough power to do so.

- (At least, I haven't been able to reproduce what happened the first time
- I changed batteries with an alarm going off and I had to give it a
- hardware reset to come back to me, with memory unperturbed. I concluded
- that I must have done something else wrong. :-)
-
- The longer I've had HP calcs, the '48 in particular, the more I realize
- that the higher price for an HP calculator turns out to be a bargain at
- their quality level.
