Hey lovely Mastodon folk. I've just released an HP-35, HP-45, HP-80 simulator called HP-1973 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the HP-45 calculator. (Free) standalone versions for Mac and WIndows (no need for any Python installation or knowledge) & Python source for Linux. It's been a coding marathon, so it'd mean a lot to me if you could boost this post, so it gets in front of the right people. Download here: https://sarahkmarr.com/retrohp1973.html Enjoy. #retrocomputing #calculators #python #coding #rpn

@SarahKL Hi, my Apple silicon Mac comes up with this error, have I done something wrong?

@andyh2o Oh, that's interesting. Hmmm. What happens if you rename hp1973_prefs_normal.json to hp1973_prefs.json?

@SarahKL I tried that and it gave exactly the same error message.

@SarahKL *I copied the file and renamed it, I also renamed the 'normal' and 'short' files (prefixed with xx and the same again.)

@andyh2o I'm having the same problem (for the first time). I'll try to get to the bottom of it. Thanks for letting me know.

@SarahKL You're welcome, I just duplicated it on my 2018 Intel MB Air too. Hope you sort it soon. Cheers

@andyh2o Very odd. I've removed the Mac download whilst I sort it. I'll message you when it's fixed!
