Ah a fellow RPI'er! I was one of the minions lugging my Keuffel & Esser up and down the hills of Troy, but lo and behold a piece of pocket-sized engineering beauty began to appear on campus (among those lucky, or rich enough) - the HP-35 "slide rule" pocket calculator! It would be a few calculator generations later that I could afford one (the HP-21) but I was hooked for life on HP and RPN! Nothin like em!
Right there with you on that. I use an HP-48GX at my desk, an HP-41CV on the RF bench, and an HP-49G in the calibration lab.
I'm running Droid48 on my Android Phone. Still have my HP21C (I think it's a C might be an S, with the broken door). -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies
