I bought mine from Staples (I think) 2 years ago -- the summer of 2009?  It was just before I entered high school.

It's a bit trickier for my brother -- he's just entering high school, and inherited his calculator from a cousin who just finished college.  I have no idea when she bought her calculator, and for that matter where -- she lived in a different country before she moved here.

Aww, too bad.  It's a K, so more information about it would have maybe let us know how weird it is. ;)  Thanks, though. :)

I can ask her, if you want.  Hang on a moment.

Might take more then a moment -- I can't find her contact info.

She purchased her calculator about 3 and a half years ago, in the US.

The_mad_joob, the reason why yours doesn't require ALCDFIX is kind of funny, it's because your CPU is so dang slow. This affects the test in two ways, 1) it made the fps a lot slower than it should have been, purely because the CPU couldn't keep up, 2) when you are actually drawing stuff to the screen, the cpu is again slower and doesn't go faster than the LCD. Runer had the same thing happen to his calc.

That would make sense, since the model i'm talking about is one of the very first 84+SEs (early 2004).
For the record, its cpu runs at about 14-14.4 mhz, whereas the later ones are close to 16 mhz, according to the test results posted on uti.

Btw, i know it's originally not the main goal of this topic, but my old 83+VS I-0299A has, in fact, a good lcd (my mistake).
