I don't know if the lower models can handle this, but maybe the 89 can?
by the multiple calcs gathering data i mentioned erlier, i was talking about only on the calculators. but, now that you say that in conjunction with a laptop, i could throw some quick VB code together and pump out a nice looking interface of some sort that just steals data from some text files that the calculators can create. This assumes its users understand how to use the TI Graphlink software. (my plan is to store the information in a large matrix, so i could write a vb app that will combine and display that informatio on the laptop)
