Here's a dinosaur. First "computer" I ever used was a KIM 1. Here's a link if you've never even heard of this one. old-computers.com My Dad was a shop teacher and got into the computer revolution fairly early. LOL We had a Commodore 64 at home back in the 80s.

Calculators were/are the really useful PDA's of their day. I still carry one, although I do not use a plastic pocket protector for my pens or wear a bow tie. I still think the PDA should have more scientific canned programs and calc keys. Make it useful for god's sake. Andy why not Lithium ion or NiMH batteries and a sunlight readable colour display? Huh, well huh? My Palm II is in mothballs. POS. Lost my entire address list twice from lock up bugs. Fick id. Graffitti writing is excellent torture for Guantanamo residents with incendary tendencies. Gimme a keyboard. (Got a non-folding one for the Palm.. fick ed. too large, doesn't return to the next line, inserts instead.. sheesh!) ONE HANDED KEYBOARD! RIGHT NOW GODDAMN IT! Would it be hard to have alpha and calc keys in a sci-PDA? You can stuff RPN. Algebraic for me and the herd. But how hard would it be to fold out a calc 1/x y to the X, etc kybd? A programming function kybd, function assignment keys..? Make it useful to injunirs. EC<:-}
