The electronics industry reflects Voltaire's golden rule, "The better is the enemy of the good". This holds true for hardware, software, and for algorithms.

Hello,

Perhaps the best feature was the ability to program almost every thing, despite the limited memory and the partially merged keystrokes.

My HP-65 turned 40 last August. I use it daily at home and I like it.
