RE: Calculator Wars at your School
I was in high school 75-79. A good friend and I had the same calcs and kept looking at what we could afford in programmable. He moved to a different school so I had to seek like minded folks elsewhere.
The closest I can get to a "war" is I upgraded from a TI-30 to a 57 (although I have a very clear memory of using a 58, which is kind of odd). And another fellow was very clear about the superiority of his HP 25C, due to the continuous memory. Which was a challenging argument to try to win. The job I had would have paid for me to have a 59, but I spent all my money on my girlfriend and then other stuff after we broke up. I ended up buying a used SR-52 for college which I eventually replaced with the 11C. All the other engineers (I switched to comp sci from Cpr E) had 41's ... I think I had all of two discussions on the merits of different calculators, one in high school, one in college. In both cases, I wanted what the other person had, so there wasn't really much argument! HP-45/65/67,HP-10/11/12/15/16c,HP-21/25/25c/29c,HP-31e/32e/33e/34c,HP-41C/V/X,HP-22s/27s/32sii/42s,HP-48s/gx,HP-35s,more |
