My HP12C died.

[afm199]

I just lost a friend.

Fuck. I love RPN calculators. This one has served me forever. I don't know what to do now. I am desolate.

 

[afm199]

Yes! I did a paperclip drain of the capacitor and it's back to gold! Yay!

Ernie, I can't take this emotional rollercoaster.

If it ain't RPN it's just another collection of semiconductors.:afm199

Hi friend! :wave

Glad I could make you laugh.

:cry

I had to look up RPN, weird.

If you have never used RPN, it's like GP shift with auto blip up and down. :laughing

Fuck. I love RPN calculators.

Not many of us left. No 12C in my collection, but I do have an 11C and a 16C. Two 35s, too, but neither in working condition.

My dad got an HP35 just before he died. He was so proud of it.

He grew up on slide rules and taught me how to use one.

 

[bcj]

Still have dad's HP35. Missing batteries, but still works when plugged in.

It's been through decades of hard graft at the lazy B.
There's epoxy holding the switch to ON, and he made alu sheet into some visors to go over the display.

May be a genetic thing. I've hand coded PostScript with vi for baksheesh.

 

[Johndicezx9]

Did you call OPD?

 

[afm199]

Line was busy.

They didn't defund the Christmas party!

I have some chalk if you need to outline the body. :thumbup

 

[Pauley]

My condolences. I have an 11c, 12c and 41cx that I feel the same way about.

 

[Blankpage]

Yeah I might be a bit familiar with those.
Here's my collection I just pulled out from under the coffee table which doesn't include the ones in my desk at work.
Always fun handing one to someone asking for a calculator.
HP32S is my favorite but I always wanted a 42S.
