RE: Your First Handheld?
My first handheld was a TI-30 from 1977 - a gift from my parents as I was entering high school. In the mid to late seventies I really became aware of HP calculators from ads in magazines like Popular Science and Scientific American and always longed to own one. A couple of years later I saved up and purchased a TI-55 as HP's were simply cost prohibitive. They remained so until...
In third year Mech Eng at RMC (circa 1985), I bought a slightly used HP-15C from a professor who said he didn't need it any longer now that he had a 'computer' with BASIC. That 15C is still my favourite and I took it all over the world while in the navy and on business trips. I followed that up with a 32sii in 1994 which I used daily until I got the bug more than a decade later to start adding to the collection. I now have thirty odd HPs (including some duplicates) which I try to use in rotation. Jeff |
