hurdboy: It took me a minute to get that, subby. We are allowed to use a calculator on this section of the test, aren't we?

Real men use one of these:

I only read the tag and something about the 4th quarter and wondered why this thread isn't in the Sports tab...

Diogenes: I wonder whatever happened to my TI Timex Sinclair.

FTFY. Texas Instruments had the TI-99/4A, Timex had the Timex Sinclair. Two totally different machines.

Yeah, but it fits in my pocket, which means I can take it every where I go. The slipstick you have with you is better than the one at home on your desk.

Besides which, I've got a big-ass circular rule for the hard stuff at home. You can build one for yourself, just go here and print them out. I've built the Yokota Log-Log rule which is also a decitrig, but the easiest to build are the circular ones (I use Image #1).

took me 2.

/2 long, that is! *ZING*

Kind of surprised considering they're producing processors for some pretty high-profile android phones set to be released soon, but I have no idea what percentage of their operations those kinds of chips represent.

Superior:


/I have an 83, 83+,85, and 86
//86 is my favorite, the menuing system used by the 83 and 84 is horrible

Heh... just turned my old TI-89 into Good Will a couple days ago. It wasn't doing any good sitting on a shelf.

/Hopefully it'll help some high school / college kid out in their math class
//Should have removed my physics cheat sheets.

HP's reverse polish notation ruined all other calculators for me.

Even superiorer:


The article says that TI just bought National and that's why they missed their earnings.
I personally think they are circling the wagons...
I'm not going to miss them. I just hope Intel buys that shiny new fab they built in Richardson!

Engineering Calculus I with a TI-86 = A
Business Calculus II with a TI-81 = C

For my fail

/stupid TI-86 got drenched in vodka
//college
///best calculator I ever had, but HP 12C was good for what it was

The still make the same calculators as they did 15 years ago. They also still sell them at the same high prices. If it was anyother piece of electronics I doubt this would be the case.

Swap out the mini-phone serial port at the bottom of that for a standard microUSB, and it's calculator porn from 2011.

If by "porn" you mean "overpriced and underpowered".
