Can I just vent for a minute, guys? Ok, so I'm taking Finance on 1/22 and prepping like a maniac. Have gone thru IC twice, read the Hirt text, viewed the Chairman's greeting, etc.
So, I got my new TI BAII Plus Professional calculator a couple of days ago thinking "Yippppeee, here's gonna be some free points on those nasty TVM questions".
Yeah, that level of enthusiasm had a shorter life span than a chocolate chip cookie here at my house. Roughly 2 seconds. 
I think I am working harder at figuring out the darn calculator than I did on reading the whole Hirt textbook. I have just started some of the online tutorials geared for this calculator and hope they will help - but dang - it's a lot of memorizing what key to push when. And, there's hundreds of them! Well, not really but it feels like it, right Categ??? :eek:
Anyway, thanks for letting me rant. I feel (somewhat) better now. Back to the grindstone. I hate this test already by the way.
Happy New Year to all,
Kelly
