TI59 VS the 41 Vs the 71 VS the 48 Shootout

[Namir]

I had the HP-67 when I came to the US. On the second day I went to Ulrich's Bookstore (Univ of Michigan, Ann Arbor) and saw how cheap a TI-59 was (compared to Paris where I was living for a few months). I snagged one and came back two days later to buy the printer! I used both calculators for homework (mostly the HP-67) and even took the two machines in a Stat class one day! The professor (an MIT PhD in chemical engineering who used the HP-65) was impressed!

When the HP-41C came out, that was it for the HP-67 and the TI-59. As Voltere said "The better is the enemy of the good!"

I do have the TI-59/58 emulators on the PC and my Android phone and Android tablet.
