I'm glad with my HP calculators don't need a iphone for that.
The real fun of old calculators is touching them and playing with them, no
touchscreen is giving you that fun.

Is this somebody's labor of love?
Or is HP on its way to becoming a software company? or down the
tubes?
Feh. My made-in-the-USA 16C is on its second set of
batteries since I purchased it sometime around 1983. I wonder
if the same claim could be made for an iPhone 25+ years from now?
I also note that the 16C is not one of the emulations offered. --Chuck
