Saw one here at a book store around two months ago, tempted to get it. Thank you! I'm not going to be a spoiler here, but I believe you have been closer than I finding the easter egg! I had no idea about Tim's HP-10bii+ easter egg foundation, until someone gave me a clue about it. However, even then I could not find it. As I see it, it is easier writing in hex (I do not like octal, though) than finding that easter egg! It is a nice well built pocket sized powerful machine that deserves to be in any home.

I would say it is easier to win the lottery than finding it! I lacked the required background culture here to be able to find it, but after some (well, a lot!) guidance from someone with more skills, I managed to get your message out of my nice machine Great easter egg, Thank you!

Both Cyrille and I are big fans and were very sorry about the passing. :-( RE: HP-10BII+ One more to my collection - Thomas Radtke - 04-17-2016 05:22 PM (04-17-2016 01:21 AM)rprosperi Wrote: It took me even longer than Katie, so we're safe, though I still hope there is no bus incident... It's been a long time since I've searched like that, and in the end, I know and like this great little machine even more. Thanks again Tim!Were there any clues? I feel like an idiot . But I found the 18C easter egg - and was about throwing that thing away. Explosive egg.

Did not know the 18C had an Easter egg too. I may need to find it, drag it out and take a look.

I'm considering acquiring one part of his works now. Better late than never, I would say. |
