OT: Dennis (db) - Your bid is welcome! - Joerg Woerner - 01-12-2010 Dennis, I browsed some days ago your wonderful collection of non-HP RPN calculators and noticed that you feature only one product from Texas Instruments. I agree that the RPN module for the TI-59 was just a marketing gag but - don't underrate Texas Instruments. We all remember the TI-88 and still speculate why it failed. Within few years TI bounced back and introduced some really interesting products. You remember the TI-78 and the TI-81? Between these two calculators and the mind-boggling PLT SHH1 another TI project kept under the radar screen! What I learned so far: It is based on Far Eastern technology and was tested probably only on the European market. A fellow collector in Hungary offered me recently an untouched product and I couldn't resist! I am not sure how this rare calculator made it over the iron curtain but it finally is back! Dennis, Wall Street ruined the economy - I have to sell this unbelievable piece of Texas Instruments history on our favorite auction site. I can't think about a better place than your home for it. LINK to your auction. Your bid is welcome.

I hope you've been enjoying your balmy weather up there. I think that we are about to enjoy a series of warm-but-wet storms out here - the kind that makes me glad i'm near the top of the hill and etched into bedrock.
Re: OT: Dennis (db) - Your bid is welcome! - Joerg Woerner - 01-13-2010 Dennis, Hope you get some of our ice and snow mix ;-)) Would force you to stay at home and play with the RPN module... Stay tuned.
