Aurora FN1000 available at Fry's
Message #1 Posted by Mike Sebastian on 5 Sept 2003, 10:37 p.m.

The Aurora FN1000 financial calculator is available at Fry's for $24.99. The Arlington, Texas, store had several. Yes, it is RPN and has a four register stack. And, while it appears to be inspired by the 12C, there are differences.

Thanks for the heads up Mike. I'll be going past the Sacramento Frys in two weeks. I'll get one. Maybe they will come out with a cheap scientific rpn next. RPN LIVES!

I wonder what kind of manual this Fry's specimen will come with. The Brazilian version of the FN1000 sports a shameless Word copy of the Portuguese original HP manual. I've posting some comments here about it some time ago. Can someone check this, please ?

I don't know the Auroras. How is the quality ? Is there somewhere a larger picture ?

All the Best

Re: Aurora FN1000 -- Programming Features?

Does it have the same 99 steps and line # addressing as the 12c? Do registers get eaten up by program memory as the latter is needed?

BTW, I have an Aurora "SC-150X 131-function Scientific Calculator" -- a nondescript little plastic-keyed LCD model with a hinged clamshell cover. I think I got it at WalMart for ~$5.00 a couple years ago. But it's neither programmable nor RPN.
