I second you!

But be aware of the fact that some of our contributors are high-end users... and females. Do not know if they are moms... (Katie?)

I'm a mom to my high-end calculators* (but none of them are of the human variety).

NOT TRUE!!!!

My wife has two 32S calcs and an 11S. She's a fellow Ph.D. astronomer, like I am! We met in grad school.

That's an 11C of course (guess I got carried away with the S sufffix)!

Of course! It was an HP-11C in 2005 and still is today :-)

BTW, one of my brothers, an agronomist, still has (and uses) the HP-11C I gave him in the Christmas of '83. The batteries have been changed only three or fours time in all these.
