KermMaritan is a lot into hardware modding, though, same for Benryves. I don't remember if it's Kerm but someone on Cemetech had a 3 color display on their calc. I wonder if it used a Casio CFX-9850G screen...

Hmmm, I don't know. I did see that the first Ultimate Calculator has a RBG backlight on it, but I don't think it works with changing to fit the game (maybe it was the second one...)

The least risky mod I have seen (and one of the more practical) was the AAA to AA mod, as it only modified your battery cover. You never had to open your calculator, so there was no risk of bricking.
I believe the motivation was that AAs are cheaper and have a longer life than AAAs, but are larger.

Oh I remember that. It was on the Richfiles I think, before Geocities shutted down. Pretty cool thing if you're into electronics. It saved A LOT of money, unless you bought your AAA's at the dollar store, where they were the exact same price as AA's. I never understood why tr1p1ea's were often twice more expensive than d0ub1ea's...

Most likely has to do with the manufacturing process and the materials used. Also, the fact that they aren't used as much so when people do need them they have to pay more.

Mhmm the later would most likely do the opposite. When something isn't used as much or sells poorly, it's usually cheaper unless the material used is considerably more expensive. However if it's produced far less and made rarer, that can help boost prices. This is why music albums tend to get more expensive 3 years after their releases in stores, since they're still sold well, but not produced as much as the artist's newest albums.
