RE: the worst?
And we should probably distinguish between simple issues like 'low capability' vs. outright design flaws/omissions.
I know there were a few 'programmable' adding machines back in the day. That would provide a precedent for the Litronix 2290. Frankly, I'm surprised HP didn't add some data registers and make the HP-10 programmable for simple tasks. That would have been so HP. But things like using a shift key to get a decimal point? Omitting scientific notation on an otherwise scientific calculator? Somehow I'm reminded of a Three Stooges episode: MOE: Think man! CURLEY: I keep tryin' to think but nothin' happens! -John [35/45/55/80/70/65/67/67T/97/97S/91/92/21/22/27/25C/29C/19C/10/ 31E/32E/33C/34C/37E/38C/41CX/71B/28S/19B/12C/15C/33S/35S/32S/ 48GX/50G/Prime/DM42] |
