It's
pretty scary, actually. I mean, I love my HP calcs (my everyday
machines are a -41CX, a -28S, and a -48SX) but honestly most of the time
I just type "bc" in whatever terminal window I happen to be working in.
Erm, have you tried balancing even a laptop on a lathe bed? Many times I
need to claculate angles, amount of metal to remove, etc and an HP
calculator is a lot more usable than a PC...
