A Baghdadian Saying about HP Calculators!!! - Namir - 12-27-2017 04:05 AM There is a saying in my native and beloved Baghdad, "The student of a master, is himself a master and a half." While the saying itself makes no mention of calculators, it seems appropriate in pointing out to a phenomena that has occurred in the last decade--HP users crafting new calculators or new versions of vintage calculators that are better than HP's own products! These users, who started out as students/customers of HP calculators, have come out with software and hardware that would make HP proud of how it have inspired its clients! Namir RE: A Baghdadian Saying about HP Calculators!!! - badaze - 12-27-2017 08:41 AM It's a nice saying. I think it means that the student has the master's experience and its own. No ? Anyway. It's true that no other calculator brand has so many enthusiasts. Never seen such a big community and/or so involved for TI calculators for instance. May be HP calculators have what we call in French a "supplément d'âme".

As for HP calculators, I think they offered special features and cultivated a special loyalty.

Their contest and projects sections are pretty interesting.

And re-studying Math I'm loving HP calculators much than first :-) Salvo RE: A Baghdadian Saying about HP Calculators!!! - badaze - 12-27-2017 02:09 PM (12-27-2017 09:32 AM)pier4r Wrote:(12-27-2017 08:41 AM)badaze Wrote: Anyway.

I was referring to so called ‘vintage computers’. Even if I have a lot of recent calculators they do not belong to my nostalgia |
