I'd like to second Phil's comment on Bob's story WOW! When TI introduced the Datamath 4 banger I bought one via a friend that worked at TI at half of retail price, but as I remember that was still quite pricy. After buying one more TI, I've owned nothing but H-P's.
When I was taking my Extra exam, (using my H-P 11C) I paused to think that the first time I worked those reactance, and resonance equations and did polar - rectangular conversions, I was doing them with a slip stick, trig tables, and log tables. Sure was easier to push just a couple of buttons. Hand me down my walking cane. Bill >>> "Philip M. Lanese" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/05/05 01:11PM >>> Two very nice posts Bob. Glad to see the responses to my mention of RPN. New engineering graduates I have mentored on recent jobs had never heard the term. I don't consider mentioning my still functional (no battery required) Post and K&E bamboo sticks to them.
