This has been true with two seperate SNK's. No, the first one didn't die... I changed jobs. I have also replaced the batteries in many SNK's without blanking the card. As a matter of fact a large batch of SNKs that we got had nearly dead batteries. I won't use that distributer again! I bought new batteries at the local drugstore and the calculators were back in production. -- do svidaniya, ~mitch
