Actually, the connectors on 9V batteries are pretty shake-proof, and
the original TI-30 is nearly bomb-proof.  I once had a student who
borrowed mine during an exam and dropped it on the floor TWICE during
the exam.  The case popped open and the insides flew all over, but I
put it back together, and it still works fine today (12 years later).
