Hello. My name's Dave, and I'm a Calcoholic.

I call BS! Did you really use your HP OfficeCalc 100, or your HP-6S Solar?

You got me on this one ... but then again ... I was talking about REAL HP not rebranded ones.

[Massimo Gnerucci]

So you use your HP 10(A)?

But the ironing board is occupied by the calculators from last year or so which still wait to be photographed and catalogued. Note that there is another row of calculators behind the ones you can see on this picture. Maybe I should consider to look for professional help

Ironing boards are cheap, but a few more

Just check my signature... plus there are a few on their way

Yes I do, once or twice a year.

I agreed to say "Hi Dave!" but I never said that I was sober or planning to ... LOL

Don't blame yourselves! The salvation has arrived!
See my "collection". It is accepting donations of what is a weight on your backs!
Ohhhhh, amem!

My collection is puny. I have 3 HP48GXs, each one with RAM cards for a total of 6 RAM cards. I have some HP48GX ROM cards. I have maybe a dozen manuals and other documentation. I also have two HP42Ss, an HP32SII, maybe 3 HP12Cs, an HP200LX, some other HP devices and other non-HP calculators, PDAs, organizers and such

Regards,

Jonathan

I forgot to mention that I do have a mint condition ( looks new to me ) Commodore 64, which I've tested. I also own some type of other 1980s portable "pocket" computer, but I forget its name. In addition, I have a TI scientific that fits into a large base, complete with a printer, card reader and other functions, and which has keyhole in order to disengage the calculator from the base -- it's also in mint condition.

Regards,

Jonathan

Wow - this thread is like therapy. I thought I had a problem!? I'm a teetotaler by comparison. I did buy 4 calculators last year though ... the prices were just impossible to pass on. My wife does think I'm crazy. She thinks more than one is somehow excessive. Sheesh ...

[twoweims]

I promised my wife no more calculators...
Then the DM41X beta came out today...

And you have no idea how hard it was to work that out so precisely...

Building calculators and ruining marriages.

It's a tough job, but someone has got to do it.

I'm missing something important ... just for curiosity, of course, where did you get this news?

And you just did a good job at it... ;)
Thanks a lot, anyway :D

Chapeau, mon brave!

Tu aurais pas, par hasard, une HP32 E qui soit excédent des besoins?

You wouldn’t happen to have an HP32 E going spare, would you? ?

And here's my modest collection (soon to be complemented by a DM41 X)...

A modest but beautiful collection. And with not one but two HP-25. Nice!

[Dave Britten]

I've got the last two Pioneers I needed coming in the mail (22S, 17B), as well as a couple X Mems for my 41CX.

I'm starting to think we could save a lot of money by switching to something simple, like cocaine or heroin.

Sure, that's far cheaper and likely better for our health, but it's so hard to balance your checkbook using them. On the other hand, they use far less batteries.

Interesting. Which bank are you using? The tan generator looks identical to the one for my German bank. Barclays in the UK use one that is not compatible though.

Thanks, Thomas! The leftmost HP25 is absolutely immaculate... it really looks like it just came out of the box. But it’s not working ☹️. I’m trying to pluck up the courage to poke around inside...
