RE: Your First Handheld?
When I was in grade school I think that I had some TI calculator, which had red 7 segment display(I think). I probably had some other early scientific calc as well as I seem to vaguely recall one with the now common gray LCD type of display, but I never tinkered with that one as much or got(below) shortly after.
In high school, I had a Sharp PC-1403. It was pretty frustrating though as I remember it had some kind of port which looked to attach peripherals. I can't remember if the manual mentioned them but I remember every time going to a Radio Shack or similar stores always looking around for them, as I really wanted even a tape backup for the programs that I'd write on it. HS was pretty dull... The HP-28S came when I moved on to university, and as I mention elsewhere while it was really a step up it was frustrating since none of your programs could be saved which is why I was EXTREMELY happy to get a 48SX eventually. (BTW I seem to recall someone mentioning somewhere that kermit was all there was for the 48SX but I seem to distinctly recall having a functional library that provided at least Xmodem if not Ymodem protocol(s) as well... which were MUCH better than the kludgey kermit(never worked well for me)...) |
