RE: Calculator Wars at your School
There weren't really any "wars" as such at the school when/where I was (early '80s, Europe).
The school had a relationship with a TI representative who offloaded old stock TI-57 LED calculators at an attractive price, so nearly everyone had that model. I was a bit of a rebel at heart so I didn't take the school up on the offer. I had the opportunity to acquire an HP-15C instead. Needless to say, everyone was jealous of the sheer capacity of the calculator and the non-volatile memory. They just couldn't get their heads round RPN so people didn't want to borrow it. "Where's the '=' button?!?!" was a very common question... Current daily drivers: HP-41CL, HP-15C, HP-16C |
