Interesting. How would you rate some of the ancient calculators, such as the Sinclair? I have a number of Equation writer calculators and deploy them in a manner very much like a minimalist program, but much easier to use. I would suggest many programmable calculator enthusiasts utilize a similar approach. Any thoughts?

BEST!

Sliderule,

Looking at picture of Sinclair Cambridge Scientific (thanks Google), and if I extended the Minimalist club to include non-programmable scientific calculators, this would definitely qualify. I would also add the Casio fx-82 (1982-ish) and the TI-25X (TI-30S International version, 1990s) to the list.


Give its size, the HP-9S would also qualify to be part of the Minimalist Club.

I would love to see some more details about your approach of equation writer programs as a minimalist approach.
