How many of you like HP41C calculators?

When I worked at IBM research there was often the argument that 'one of your assertions is wrong, therefore your entire argument is wrong'. I usually stopped arguing at that point, even though I had a sneaking suspicion that their approach was too simple -- but it had appealed to me at some level. Later it dawned on me that it was my background in mathematics that was resonating, where every equation had to be right all the way across. Life usually (always?) deviates from mathematic perfection at some point. I think for arguing about computers it's not yes-it-is/no-it-isn't but more of a spectrum of measurable quantities that get closer or farther from an ideal or a set of ideals. Maybe someone should list out those ideals and rate the 41C against them. John A. 1.) Hopcroft / Ullman 8.3 <g>
