If the calculator breaks, the spy goes to the nearest office supply store and buys another. I haven't read about anything like this in the literature. It wasn't possible much more than 20 years ago, since computers (calculators) weren't consumer items. How do you know TI or HP or Casio haven't already done it? :-) Thanks for contributing some new material to this group, rather than rehashing the current discussions about what precautions rabidly paranoid people should take to prevent Big Brother from spoofing ALL their communication with everyone on every possible subject in real time.
