HP Calcs Live On Under PalmOS 191

Posted by timothy on Saturday April 12, 2003 @02:47PM from the symbolic-replacement dept.

philipsblows writes "Emulators for HP Calcs have been around for a while, but HP is actually getting behind this one, allowing ROM images to be included to support emulation of 48sx, 48gx and 49g (all separately and at the same time) on your PalmOS device. Unfortunately, it has to be a color device, but this is great news anyone who would otherwise miss out on using an HP calc. Check out Power48 here." And unlike a calculator, the software is free (and Free).

The 48g was a godsend for me in university. This was before the masses knew anything about being able to store and retrieve any decent amount of text from a calculator. All my biochem formulas got neatly stored in a little app called YONPY or something like that (I think it stood for Ye old notepad). People supervising the exams had no clue -- prolly just thought I was a big geek with a calculator at least twice the size of others. I dont think you can get away with this now though.

Reverse Polish Notation [userfriendly.org]: press two numbers THEN the function you want... ...kinda like the way Yoda talks.

Judging by the excitement, I think it's no coincidence that "under palm os" can be rearranged to spell "unload sperm."
