The ideal gift for Christmas

Thank you, but 90% of the credit should go to the programmers and trainers of the various AI programs.

In the meantime, I fixed the wrong display of the date. DALL·E even remembered from yesterday that I asked for an HP-35 and added that number without being reminded. It learns something new every day!

NB: For the curious ones, this is the prompt that I used to change the image: "Good afternoon! I hope you remember our last creation that we did together in this chat yesterday. An error was discovered in the numbers displayed. By the convention used with HP calculators, the date format should be MM.DDYYYY instead of MMDD.YYYY as I wrongly assumed. Could you please provide me with the exact, or very similar, picture from yesterday, but with the display showing 12.242024 instead?"

Beside the link to the modified picture I got this answer from the AI that is addessed to all of us: "You're very welcome! I'm glad I could help. Wishing you and the vintage calculator community a joyful and festive holiday season! ??✨"

And another addition: "One more question: According to your estimate, considering the calculation speed alone, would it take a vintage calculator like an HP-41C to perform the numerical computations required to generate the image that you just made for me?"
To cut the long answer short, this is the essence of the reply: "Number of operations required: A rough estimate might be 1 trillion operations (conservative).
Time for HP-41C to complete: At 10 FLOPS, it would take 1 trillion ÷ 10 = 100 billion seconds, or roughly 3,170 years to generate the image.
The HP-41C, while revolutionary for its time, would take thousands of years to perform the computations required for generating an image like the one you requested. This stark contrast showcases the incredible advancements in computational power since the 1980s!"
