Calc wars

I quit using most of my other calculators and, today, use an HP 25C almost
exclusively, though I have a '21 also. I didn't know those were collectibles.
back in the '70's, I modified the battery holder so I could replace the
batteries when they went bad. This was a common problem. The use of 1.5-volt
batteries probably won't hurt anything if my own calculators are any indication,
though I've usually replaced the NiCd types with others of the same sort.
