Specialty Calculators Message #1 Posted by bill platt on 25 May 2004, 3:06 p.m. A thread (or two, or three, or twenty!) below debates the viability of the 42s etc in the current marketplace. May I suggest that we may indeed find a maker of these specialty High-Power non graphing calculators--and the "company" will be close at hand---- Open-RPN! Keep an eye on what Hugh and company are up too-and get involved! regards, Bill

Re: Specialty Calculators Message #2 Posted by OpenRPN on 26 May 2004, 1:20 p.m., in response to message #1 by bill platt I would say you hit the nail on the head regarding the high-powered non-graphing calculators. After all, that's where the whole OpenRPN idea started... No one is catering to scientists/engineers who need a durable, reliable machine. (Hydrix appears to be working in that direction) So I thought about it for a while, realized it could be done, and here we are. The great thing about it is that everyone can have what they've always wanted as every keyboard and overlay will be a one-off. As far as the 42s goes, I am getting very close to having a developed case and keys for the voyager-like form factor... With all of those logistics ironed out a pioneer based type will show up in renderings soon after. So stayed tuned. Best Regards, Hugh Evans
