Brain? Brain? What is brain?

My brain broke yesterday.

Actually, that's not a bad general statement; but the one that went foop! Zot! was the PDA where I keep all my appointments, passwords, phone numbers...

Fortunately, I'd backed it up relatively recently. However, it'll probably be at least two weeks before it's fixed.

This is the second time in less than two years that this model has conked out. #&*%@#%^*@! I want HP to make a version like they used to build calculators, where they subject them to seven gravities before they approve the model.

Mutter, mutter.

Another gushing fan of vintage HP...

Sure, their current CEO is a myopic twerp, but my HP 17B calculator is THE GREATEST. They are much valued at the Orifice, because they are the only calculator that can match our origination system's Reg Z calculations (it's what we use to validate our calcs).

About 10-15 years ago they wanted to stop producing the HP 12C. After all, it's a vintage calculator, doesn't graph, program, etc.

But it's the unofficial calculator of Wall Street.

Their plan to stop production lasted (maybe) two weeks.
