Bloody titanium hell

It takes me forever to do my calculus homework because of the complexity of the TI-89 Titanium graphing calculator. For instance, how to convert from fractions to decimals? The easy way - go to my desk and get my regular, mortal calculator. But I'm stubborn and know that it's possible to easily do it on the TI-89. The product guide does not help, and all menus seem to be about other things.

Thank goodness for the internet and other users like me. This link is very helpful for figuring out these things.

The easy way? Green diamond button plus the enter key. Or, for permanent change to decimals, mode to Exact/Approx and change the setting there to approximate.

I made jello shots yesterday for the parties I attend today, and they aren't as good as I remember Jeffrie's sister-in-law's. Oh well. At least they're quick and easy to make, and practice makes better.
