i have three. the comodore is a four banger. the novus mathmatician is a kind of cheaply made hp45 with inexact trig functions. that garrett is a tank and has wood sides and great keys. it's an instrument that could "sit with perfect aplomb on your chipendale end table".
an interesting aside; dave hicks once told me that unix ran a program called "dc". it was an rpn "desk calculator".
