"More processing power than an Apollo rocket!!" Would love to see that red LED watch. Ha! I also collected a couple scientific calculators from the 80s. I used the 5500 back in school. Found both new on eBay in Israel. Oh the nostalgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I posted this before, don't know if this was the forum though. My son is an Engineer, so am I. On a lark, I bought him an LED binary readout watch. It's hard on batteries but long on explanation. He remarked that he was amazed at how many of his compatriots couldn't read it until he explained it to them. I'm still looking for a binary watch that reads out in Octal for him.

janice6 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 It is remarkable just how quickly you adjust to reading time on this watch. After a short time, you just look at the time and the summation is unconscious and almost instant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
