Oh my, Bill. You're dating yourself...as am I. I worked for HP in the early 70's when they were the calculator king. Part of the HP folklore is how HP got into the calculator business which is fascinating. I remember seeing a T-shirt with three symbols on it: Enter > =. It took me a while to figure that out, and to this day I really don't like algebraic calculators. My 1st unit was a 12C and a 41C, both of which I still have. Oh, I still have my K&E Log Log Duplex Decitrig slide rule with mahogany rails. Yup....I'm old.
Downloaded the 42C app on the iphone. I feel at home again.
