Hi,
I propably should make this into some memory entry, but it happened right now and I just wanna share!
Some of you may have read this newbie's posts and know I am getting back in the game of hp rpn calculators because of the new 35s (in the mail).
Ok, my history with hp programmables are I started late primary school, my first programs (ever, I become a programmer) done on a HP-33E I *think* (at some point I sold it).
In high school I borrowed money from my brother and got me a HP-41cv, loved that machine. Wrote astronomic programs. After three years in high school it lasted through my 15 months mandatory military service. Then just about at the time going to university it fell to ground and would never more woke up!
I could not bring me to throw it away, but it got placed away somewhere...
All this 'hp35s I am going to have a big enter calc again' brought back memories, so this weekend visiting my parents place I did some snooping around... and under a ton of dust on top of a cabinet I found it... The calculator inside the holster so it was dust free, batery pack beside with some very old batteries in it...
Put it in and turn it on nothing... Ofcourse, these batteries are more 15+ year old...
I had to try, got out and got me four lr1 ones, brand new..., put it
in...
Nothing... well, well...
Then after a minute or so, I tried again....
And suddenly... a word
>MEMORYLOST
And then
>0.0000
I tried
2 enter +
>4.0000
I am a bit emotional right now..., sure you guys understand...
