New Year's resolutions ? Message #1 Posted by Michael de Estrada on 17 Dec 2011, 10:05 p.m. Do you have any New Year's resolutions vis a vis calculators ? Mine is very simple - no more calculators. It's not that I can't afford them, because I can. It's simply a matter of having every make and model, past and present, that interests me. In many cases I have more than one sample of a given model, and they all are in working condition. In some cases I'm missing accessories such as an HP-70 printed manual, but in most cases they're complete. I have insufficient room to store them. Some are stored in shoe boxes, piled up in a closet. Some are piled up in a display case. Some just sit on the floor in the middle of my home office (aka guest bedroom). Enough is enough.

Re: New Year's resolutions ? Message #6 Posted by David Ramsey on 18 Dec 2011, 11:05 a.m., in response to message #1 by Michael de Estrada I'm making the same resolution: no more calculators or related items in 2012, mainly because of the insane spending spree I went on this year re desktop machines. Not only did I spend a lot of money, but I have no place else to put anything! Desktop machines are big! Exceptions for previous commitments: a 41CL board, paper and parts for a 9100 printer, and that's it! No, really...

Re: New Year's resolutions ? Message #7 Posted by Eddie W. Shore on 18 Dec 2011, 3:53 p.m., in response to message #1 by Michael de Estrada I think I am the opposite, I will probably collect additional calculators, both old and new during 2012. But then again, I won't need a resolution to do that.
