Resistor Color Code

[TASP]

After thinking about this for a while, possibly at one time I had an HP41 keyboard overlay with the appropriate colors noted in flecks of electrical tape on the top rows. And there would have been a program with User mode key assignments that went along with it.

Considering my vague memory of it, I'm thinking I might have written the code during sparky school for a classmate to use in labs. If I had used it quite a bit I think I would have a clearer recollection.

My predilection to write 'bloatware' would make me think the program probably accepted gold and silver too and computed and displayed ranges of resistance possible for the colors.

I do remember using the colored electrical tape, an oatmeal container, and some conduit to make a 'gag' giant 10,000 watt 47K resistor for one of the instructors . . .
