Re: If you think HP calculators are overpriced on eBay ... Message #5 Posted by Bill Wiese on 2 Feb 2004, 12:31 p.m., in response to message #1 by Vassilis Prevelakis Cool! I remember buying some of those issues - fondly remember running down to Mayfair market in San Mateo with my allowance change to get Pop. Electronics, Radio-Electronics and Electronics Illustrated. I remember getting the Aug? Sep? 1974 issue right before the family trip to Oregon - it had Don Lancaster's "Scopewriter", kinda a TV typewriter adapted for an oscilloscope. Very cool. In 1975 I was in 5th grade but already fascinated by calculators, computers electronics and ham radio. I drooled over the HP calc displays at Macy's and, even then, knew why RPN was better.
