And for free you can have the classic hp41 running on your windoze desktop and/or your pocketpc. The folks actually use the roms from the real hp41 and wrote a processor to emulate the machine. It therefore works EXACTLY like the original. Great stuff. See them both at http://www.hp41.org
Having used HP machines since that day in 1972 when my slide rule went into the desk drawer replaced by the hp-35, I have always carried an HP machine in my shirt pocket where the pocket protecter had been before that. I have found a machine that I like a little better than the hp41 because of it's ability to do math in lots of different number systems including time. It is only $11.85 and has a version for both windoze and pocketpc. See it at http://www.calculator.org . Highly recommended. Enjoy!
