That definitely works for me!
That was a phenomenal write-up of what must have been a fascinating mystery to have discovered! Thank you for sharing it with us!
As an aside, would you mind sharing your list of edge cases? I have a few for scientific calculators but nothing for financials. If one doesn't already exist, maybe we could even start working on a community document with edge cases and benchmarks?
The first word that comes to mind is "redemption"
That was such a great little calculator! Graphing in the form factor of a large scientific. I loved mine to pieces, but it got lost somewhere along the way. I was a lot less careful back then.
That is a beautiful picture, and it looks like you're having a lovely time! Plus, I can show my wife that I'm not the only one who brings a calculator on vacation!
So what does everybody think? Will this replace the fx-CG50 or the fx-9750GIII with the styling of the fx-991CW? Which one is showing its age more and is crying out for round buttons? Or will we get shocked with a new ClassPad?
I hope not. Especially from Casio.
I'm definitely not saying that they are stupid machines, just that I'm too stupid to use them
It is a beauty, but it's sure seen better days. It kept displaying Low Voltage
, even with fresh batteries. I cracked the case in a few places taking it apart to fix it. I have no idea what I did, other than touch a multimeter to a few spots on the board, but it works fine now. Dumb luck, I guess.
It is absolutely gorgeous, but I've always been confused by financial calculators. The buttons are all gibberish, and I have no idea what they do. I've got a TI-BA II Plus in my collection, but I think I've only turned it on four or five times 'cause I get scared.
Between the PDAs and my bullet journal, I'm pretty well set.
You got written up in The Register! That is amazing, wonderful, and awesome! Congratulations! https://www.theregister.com/2024/09/21/hp_12c_calculator_mystery
