@drj @bondo Awesome! Good to see the Applications book there, too: managed to find a cheap one of those last year.

The calculator i use the most for actual calculations is an emulated HP-45 that is written in Python and that emulates the original ROM. It's HP-1973 by @SarahKL and I think it, and by extension she, is incredibly badass.

@dm319 Yeah, 4-bit binary coded decimal in the registers. It's get harder and harder to get old HPs for anything affordable. (Although the Facebook group seems full of US folk finding them for 99¢ in estate sales.)
