<div dir="ltr"><div>I Bought a TI calculator in college from the bookstore, after reading the manual I realized it did not even have a clock. </div><div>Took it back and got the HP48, which was awesome for the time especially for rectangular to polar conversions. The reverse polish notation also made so much more sense. Used the HP48 for about a decade, now for most stuff I leave octave open on the computer and do any math I need in octave. </div><div>Octave is great for my uses as it has printf() which works like C, as such I can do numeric (hex) conversions using printf. <br>I suspect that AI will eventually replace my use of octave, specifically, I can ask AI to write a python program for math and run it. I already do this for generating graphs and graphics. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Jan 10, 2026 at 3:56\u202fPM Mike Lisanke via TriEmbed <<a href="mailto:triembed@triembed.org">triembed@triembed.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">BTW, I have an older TI-84 that won't boot (won't hold a charge?) <div>If anyone thinks they can instruct me to do simple EE poking.
