N.E.R.M.A.L. rides again!

[errantember]

One of the few good things (besides my degree) that came out of my years at Texas A&M University is shown below receiving the bliss of re-discovery from moi. Now that I'm getting back into a situation where hand-held number crunching will be useful, there's no finer number cruncher to have in my hand than my old, ugly HP48-SX, N.E.R.M.A.L.

Note that we match perfectly.

It will be refreshing to use it for something other than sneaking circuit diagrams into a final. I even had the foresight to remove the batteries last time I used it! A good decision considering it cost $250 in the mid 90s when I bought it.

I was never the cool kid with the 48SX... I had the lowly 48S. Still was able to play Joust on it... I pulled it out last year, it still powered up, but I just didn't have any good use for it, so it's back in storage again.
