Your First Handheld?

[Jlouis]

My first handheld (that I bought) was a simple scienfic TI SR40 LCD in 1981. It was usefull, but the keyboard had failured soon. I still have it but it is very hard to use due the keyboard often missess keystrokes.

Afterwards someone that I don't recall gave me a Casio fx-101, from 1976, very nice, still working flawlessly till today, but only issue is that it is in the battleship class (Walter, where are you?).

Then my brother told me about HP and I bought a 15c and it was love at first sight. I used it for 25 years! But sadly it was stolen. After that I bought many HP's calculators. Now I'm back to school and I'm very happy to use them all.

Most people treats calculators as simple tools, but I don't know why, I'm very fond to them.

Maybe I'm not alone.

Live long and prosper

Warm Regards from Rio
