Empire of the Sum...

[John Larkin]

Cool book.

It ends by saying that, basically, the calculator is now dead. I have
four HP32\'s, and an excellent HP calc clone on my phone.

My first calculator was an HP35, so my brain is hardwired in Reverse
Polish.

Can any of that series store user programs? I have a 20S I got for free
I like, but no non-volatile storage is kind of a bummer.

HP-34C was my good programmable calculator. LED display.
