HP "calculators" (was Re: World's first computer on ebay!)

Well, and, this is an expression rather than a statement; you could do things like R(X+(1->C))->A (somewhat akin to the way C lets you write a=r[x+(c=1)]) - did any BASICs do that? And the complete lack of anything like DATA (well, as far as I can recall). And the way conditionals behaved. (Were there any BASICs that let you stack statements on a line and for which conditionals always controlled the rest of the line?) And the lack of anything like a FOR loop. I think you said as much a post or two ago. :-) I'm tempted to try to find one purely for nostalgia reasons. (Tempted. I probably won't actually do it, unless one more or less falls into my lap cheap. For one thing, I've been too spoiled since then by using much more powerful and pleasant languages.) /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
