I do not understand :-) - robertoataulfo - 09-09-2011
I do not understand this excitement by an HP-15C.

Re: I do not understand :-) - Namir - 09-09-2011 The HP-15C has Solve, Integrate, and built-in matrix commands. The Sharp PC-1262 does not!! So you have to program these features in BASIC. When it comes to matrix commands ... good luck! It's a lot of coding! Edited: 9 Sept 2011, 8:48 p.m.
Re: (NT) You are kidding, aren't you? - robertoataulfo - 09-09-2011 I'm not kidding. Re: I do not understand :-) - hpnut - 09-09-2011 reasons for not liking the Sharp:
1. It's not HP period :-)
hpnut in Malaysia

I understand. Re: (NT) You are kidding, aren't you? - Gerson W. Barbosa - 09-09-2011 Olá Roberto, Actually the HP-15C was my first HP calculator and I used it a lot in college until it was eventually replaced by an HP-28S (later replaced by a 48GX). The HP-15C was purchased in 1983 after my two-month old TI-59 was stolen. At first I thought of buying an HP-41C, but it was too expensive. Now I realize the HP-15C was the best option for me then (because of the features Namir mentions). Take the chance and buy another one for your uncle's nephew while they are still available :-) Até,
Gerson.
Re: I do not understand :-) - Namir - 09-09-2011 Some code in BASIC to solve simultaneous linear equations?
Re: I do not understand :-) - Seth Morabito - 09-09-2011 The HP-41CL really is wonderful, but it requires already owning a real 41-C that you can take apart. That's too tall of an order for me!
Now, if someone were to create a new case for the HP-41CL that looked like the old 41C, I'd be quite interested in it!
Re: I do not understand :-) - Gerson W. Barbosa - 09-09-2011 Complex linear equations, as our circuit analysis examination is about to begin. We need it done quickly :-) ---------------------------------------
There's a BASIC program Edited: 10 Sept 2011, 12:07 a.m.

Quote: Interesting idea, why don't you guys going to the conference talk HP into producing empty 41 shells? (well not quite empty, there's the little details like display and keyboards, of course :).
Really doing the CL "brain transplant" is a no brainer (pun intended), assuming you have a suitable donor. The issue is finding a C/CV which screw posts don't decompose beyond repair when you open it, and then you're home free.
Re: I do not understand :-) - Håkan Thörngren - 09-10-2011 I would not mind seeing an ARM based hp-41. Sort of a real halfnut with AAA batteries (rechargeable ones should work too). Skip the hp-41 bus port and go for a couple of USB ports instead.
