#15 - when I was in HS the calculators could only do +-*/ and they cost a fortunate. Even Nasa didn't have the one in the picture. And we weren't allowed to use calculators cause that was considered cheating. And phones were attached to walls and had cords. We only had to use area codes if dialing long distance. 8-tracks were the cat's ass and most of our cars only had AM radios. Shit I'm getting old.
In 1975 my HS physics teacher had a four function calculator (the size of a phone book) that cost $400. That was the price of a cheap used car or a fairly nice used motorcycle.
#15: HP35 was $400 my senior year at Tech. Beat the absolute shit out of my K+E Log Log Duplex Decitrig. Reverse Polish Notation is the only computational way to go.
When I was in high school, I went with my Dad, a hydraulics engineer, to a Radio Shack 45 miles from our home, where he bought a Casio fx-10 calculator that was on sale for about $70. After that he used to say that the only time he used his slide rule at the office anymore was to swat flies.
#19 I would get a hamburger for lunch at a restaurant for work. I would pick it up and not let it go until I was done. One co-worker commented on that and I told him every time I set it down and picked it up it became a bigger mess.
19) I made some sloppy joes the other day. First time in a long time. I made one sandwich then said screw this. Filled a bowl up and alternately took a bite of the joe and my bread

DeleteWhen I was in high school, we didn't have electricity and heated with wood...
DeleteWelcome, Brother.
DeleteOh noooo....he farts liquid
DeleteMine was $135. Proof that tech advanced faster than the printing of dollars...until now
DeleteNumber 20 was the best, good point, right on.

ReplyDeleteI did not hear about reverse polish notation until college in my computer science class.
DeleteI used a slide rule in my engineering classes.
Delete1976 I paid about the same for my programmable HP45 that I did all my stats on for my thesis.

Delete#20 for the win!

ReplyDelete#20 pure liberal gold
ReplyDelete#12 -- Barbie just needs a "how to make your man a sandwich" kit.
ReplyDeleteSome damn good ones here
