An ANT inside my HP50 - CMarangon - 01-31-2021 01:26 AM
Hello!
I saw an ant walking over my HP50 screen.
I thought it was over it, but unfortunately it is inside!
As I already know there is no silver bullet to force it exit my HP50.
As i can see I can enclose the calculator with a transparent material
and wait some weeks to the ant starve!
What more can I do, without open the calculator?

Sincerely
Carlos, aka, HP ANT,
if it was not already taken!

Hopefully it doesn't... multiply.
But be carefull, it may found a way to DUP and STACK ...

And on a Casio, the python would eat it :-)

It's not a bug, it's a feature!
