memories :) My first programming was done on a TI 59 calculator. It's actually a good approach, particularly when later on learning assembler level programming both on mainframes and TRS 80s. It's a lot like machine language - except for the most part the instructions do more. It's more that way on the HP than on the TIs because the HPs use RPN. I still have an HP (model 16C) not as powerful as the 59, but my 59 died years ago :(. Interesting thing about calculators - the newer ones are so much more powerful. My brother for instance got a TI-82 or soemthing recently as part of a class requirement. He's not that strong in math, but that thing can do nearly everything - I mean it's like having Mathematica in a handheld... :) > James
