TI59 VS the 41 Vs the 71 VS the 48 Shootout

[jebem]

That takes me back in time to the end of 70's when everybody around me used Texas TI-57/58/59 calculators at school (Technical Universities in Lisbon) and I was the only one defending the HP flag with my HP-67.

Our arguing in favor of Texas or HP had no end, and at that time the general feeling was that Texas was superior when compared to HP in most areas. And of course they dismissed RPN as a practical entry mode, even making jokes about it.

For me this was kind of a shock, as I was educated in Mozambique and South Africa where HP dominated the market and TEXAS was about non existent there. Even CASIO had more expression than TEXAS in those times at that region.
