Would we give status reports à la "Just turned my HP-XY on... was great to see the red LEDs glimmer/the liquid-crystal display in its sharpest contrast." or "Keyed a program to calculate the n-th numeric derivative of function XYZ. Achieved to implement a routine which handles complex numbers too - made my day!"? How would the chronic look like? "My first calculator was a HP-XY, was a member of PPC-RandomCity, am now struggling with my new HP-Prime after X years of abstinence." Although this forum does also its job by helping socialize people, fortunately it is devoid of the ability to communicate every-day banalities for which F***book has become infamous. If you have difficulties to explain your significant other were the distinctive feature of this forum is in comparison to that infamous one, tell him/her that the data collected here is for the sake to make the world a better place, or just a place of better calculators - which is significant enough. Cheers Frido P.S.: Please give me a "thumbs up" for this comment ;-) |
