Pfft... Fuck OP. I do what I want!
My very first use of a programmable computer would have been in the very early 70s.
Prepare to be amazed!
In the early 70s i was still poopin in my drawers but id love to have something like that in my collection, you know, for posterity purposes. At least that is what i will tell the wife should i happen upon one of these.
Amusing history:
> The Hewlett-Packard 9100A is an early programmable calculator, first appearing in 1968. HP called it a desktop calculator because, as Bill Hewlett said, "If we had called it a computer, it would have been rejected by our customers' computer gurus because it didn't look like an IBM.
I would be surprised if any of these could be easily found for sale. I just did a quick look via Google and eBay, and found nothing.
If you find one, do let me know. I only experienced them because I went to a ritzy private school. They were exceedingly uncommon.
I didnt find any either, and will do.
