Re: HP8s learning modules now online... Message #16 Posted by Dave Shaffer on 6 Oct 2006, 11:54 a.m., in response to message #13 by Kevin
Back when I was teaching physics and astronomy labs, I made it a point to collect various cheap (non-RPN!) calculators that I could loan to the students who "forgot" theirs (what did they think we were going to do in lab that day?!?!) so they had no excuses.
For under $10 each (and sometimes as cheap as $5 on sale at places like OfficeMax for the Sharp and Canon), I found TI30's, a Sharp EL-531V, a Canon F-502 (these last two are pretty impressive for all the functionality they include), and the all-time crap winner, an Aurora SC150X. (I'm not including the truly worst of the bunch: one from the 99 cent store - which really did cost only 99 cents, but which started to fall apart as soon as I began using it!)
Send me an e-mail, and for a few bucks plus postage, I'd be happy to get rid of most of these.
