RE: Your First Handheld?
My dad had a TI SR-50 when I was young. I would see him using it and wouldn't think too much of it. One day I was sick, and he gave me the calculator to play with in the hope that it would take my mind off things. It did. Shortly afterward, I built my own "calculator" out of construction paper, dutifully copying all the keys on the SR-50 even though I had scant idea what most of them were for. ("Dad, what does cos mean?") My folks got me a TI Dataman around this time. I still have it.
My first non-toy calculator was an HP-11C. It served me well until one day when I left it at the bottom of an overloaded book bag, and cracked the crystal. I replaced it with an HP-42S, which is still my daily-use calculator. John |
