I had at TI through high school.

I passed into 2nd semester Calculus; the college got irritated when I took "Introduction to Mathematics and Computers" to meet my stringent Math requirements for my Music Education Degree.

Why? Is that not a demanding enough course.


I actually like math.

You know what wordprocessor I really loved? AmiPro. I used it all through Eng school ('93-'97) since it had such a kick ass math package. I could write a formula in no time vs. Word which was a bitch.
I was still using AmiPro from time to time in '97/98.

For me it was all about using the computer as much as possible (exploring the new world of the interweb) and my HP 48GX. Ah yes, the HP48. I still use it. Used it yesterday and used it's little brother this morning (HP 32Sii). The 32 was for courses that prohibited programmable calcs. I was *all about* programming the calc (taught it)
Reverse Polish notation.

RPL? It's an acquired taste but faster than standard notation when you get the hang of it. Personally I love it, I just hate switching from one input protocol to another. AAAACK!


That Calc really isn't that old. They replaced it with the 49 in 98 I think but sold that calc until about 2000. My old TI SR10 was old...





That was my first calc.

... this was my next calc...




About 4 hours on a charge of battery.



But Billy would love it! It's standard notation.
