I see hp has one for around a 50 dollar bill that does both rpn and std algebraic, but the adv's never tell you how much nv program ram they have. TI's graphing models seem interesting, but its the same problem, nobody wants to put enough program memory in them so this stuff can be "canned" for future conversational use. So I've not had the urge to stick the end of the card in the slot. And frankly, if I used such in the shop, and it got drowned in coolant, at its price I'd be upset.
I wonder if Big John T has some of his pythonic skills up his sleeve? I sorta got some pix of the mess that 6040 is in Friday, now I need to bring the camera back in and pull them out & run them thru Wilbers toolbox for about a 90% shrink. This camera, a Nikon L100, needs a new data socket, I can only get pix out of it by placeing it face down on the lens, so the weight of the cable makes a usable connection. So if you hear some background muttering, you'll know why. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
