Stranded on a deserted island - John W Kercheval - 12-14-2014 12:15 PM
If you were stranded on a deserted island and you could only have one of the three which would you choose & why:
1) An HP41CX with Edu-Calc Port Extender, all the accessories, and unlimited batteries;
2) An HP71B with all the accessories and unlimited batteries;
3) Jennifer Love Hewitt with a TI-58C.

#3 w/o the TI.

I guess you omitted the fourth choice, a WP 34S, as the voting would then have been too skewed.

John, did anyone ever tell you that you have a cruel streak.

I will sort a program on my 42S, to get an answer / choice for me, I have to work on an input value for the latter
It may take a while :-)
More importantly how did I manage to get stranded?

#3 and bet JLH that can't skip the TI on the water like a stone.
RE: Stranded on a deserted island - Francois Lanciault - 12-16-2014 09:29 PM
Difficult choice...
Does the TI has unlimited battery life too ?
:-) :-)

I've already got a TI-58C, so I'm like halfway there already.
RE: Stranded on a deserted island - Garth Wilson - 12-17-2014 11:23 PM
I have a 41cx and a 71B (actually two 71's) with a load of accessories, and I use the 41 every day but seldom the 71. If I could only keep one, it would be the 41. Actually I've had a 58c also but no use for it today. As for Jennifer Love Hewitt, I have no knowledge or interest in who she even is.

You have no interest exactly because you have no knowledge...

You have no interest exactly because you have no knowledge...
Ok, I just looked her up. I'll take the 41.

Yeah, unlimited battery life outweighs a C-cup any day. If she's not available that is.

Would #3 make the island half as deserted or twice as populated?

The optimist sees the glass as half full.
The pessimist sees the glass as half empty.
The engineer sees a glass twice the size it needs to be.
So it depends on your point of reference.

THIS engineer sees a glass with a reserve capacity of 100%. Handy for storing when the price of the contents is low and selling when the price is high.

Supposedly one is on a deserted island. I must have missed a metaphor somewhere.

Point of Clarification:
Although she went to Stanford, Jennifer is NOT related to the Hewlett family. Coincidentally, their last names are similar.
I picked her for the deserted island question as she is the #1 undisputed hottest female in Hollywood. It did not occur to me that her last name sounded a bit like "Hewlett."
