Will be fun to take to work along with the 34c

That's what I like too about programming old calculators (up to and including the 32sii but excluding the 41c). The challenge of programming in limited space with limited instructions is really enjoyable. I like this too even on modern machines, but there the constraints shift from limited memory and instructions to limited time and/or other real-world constraints. Professionally I often have to program in archaic languages with limited capabilities, that too is fun!
