It was the standard at my school too. Back in the late 70ies. We were even allowed to use it for tests.

Always wondered what happened on a TI calculator if you pressed  INV  and then  =.

So, what is the point of getting a number that is NOT the answer ??


(a little TI calculator humor, )

Time for bed. I read this first as, "I shaker that time faggot." Oh dear.

Good night my lovely friends

How many of you guys with the Texas Instruments programmed it and played Lunar Lander on it?!
I couldn't afford one, but I borrowed one every now and then.

Somehow, despite having much more amazing games, we still manage to communicate.

I'm sorry, can you rephrase this in the form of a Skyrim meme?

I remain a fan of the HP41 series.  I have several in working condition, and 2 that have been custom modified.  I don't have the emulator App for cell phone yet, I'm looking at a new cell phone soon, and figure that can wait.

I've noted the staff complaints in the Banhammer Thread about the number of spammers.

It has been quite some time since I registered here so I don't remember if there is a "captcha" feature to block out spambots or not?  If not, is it because of some problem with the board software?

Several of us are veterans of CVAtheists and we remember what happened there when the spammers overwhelmed the staff.

I'm not sure what happened to mine. I'm pretty sure I still had it when last moving. But somehow it seems to have been lost on the way.

Not sure if it's a bot, but the evidence points in that direction. Just a string of meaningless phrases with this one - or these ones.
