I might be convinced to part with my own TI-58/59 EE module, but I keep thinking I ought to round up the whole set of TI-58c and 59, cards, modules, books, and printer, and eBay it. Although TI was not nearly as professional as HP, a nice thing about the modules' manuals is that they explained things better, rather than just assuming you knew the insides of functions well enough to teach them and you just needed to know how to use the calculator as a tool to speed up what you were already expert at.

Yeah, I was not amused by his rough treatment and the poor way he spoke of something which at the time was an excellent tool.
