RE: Ten classic electronic calculators from the 1970s and 1980s
Comments there are closed, so I'll put this here. Earlier comments said the TI-59's card reader was unreliable. I have two 59's, and never, ever had any problem with the card reader producing errors. Maybe because I handled the cards by the edges and never touched the recording surface?

I would not agree that if the 59 was the Fred Astaire of calcs, the 41 is the Ginger Rodgers. The 41 was of course a big step up from the 59 in so many ways.

I still use my 41cx every day, now with Diego's Clonix-D module and a couple of Angel's new ROM images, one being of a version he put out just three months ago.
