They ride is awesome on and off road, much better the G2 Graphler. The Recon Graphler is the replacement design for G2 since it is discontinued.
Frustrating for sure Phil. At least you got some time in for a burger and a beer. ? ?
Rona free and feeling great! Thank you for asking. This week is my first back in the office since Jan 12th. It felt good getting out of the house.
I'm a real fan of slide rules, though I doubt I could work one now. When I was in college, pocket calculators were still very new (1970s) and were not allowed in math or physics classes. However, slide rules were allowed. I was one of a very small number of students who bothered to learn it. I had a few different sizes since the larger ones carried more precision.
Hi David,I'm a real fan of slide rules, though I doubt I could work one now. When I was in college, pocket calculators were still very new (1970s) and were not allowed in math or physics classes. However, slide rules were allowed. I was one of a very small number of students who bothered to learn it. I had a few different sizes since the larger ones carried more precision.
Even when calculators were allowed, it was still faster, for me, to use a slide rule.
Then I went to the HP-41C for grad school, which I still have in a box somewhere. It was expensive ($295 in 1979 = over $1K today!) and I had the expansion ports and printer just like in this pic. Notice that this calculator does not have a "equals" function, no = key!
I just looked at the programming language for it and I must have been smart back then! There's no frigging way I could ever figure that out now!
You're right, I forgot that it was RPN!!! It was so difficult to use but could do so much. I had a lot of physics and advanced math, so it was a lifesaver. But I think I'm scarred from it! =D
There is no equals key because HP used Reverse Polish Notation for number entry. I like it better than non-RPN calculators. My HP25 has RPN also. I still use and prefer it.I'm a real fan of slide rules, though I doubt I could work one now.

It would be 1, Enter, 1, + for the answer.
