Best Scientific Calculator?

Posted on May 23, 2008 in Tech | 3 Comments

Some of my friends may already know this, but I used to be a draftsperson / mechanical engineer trainee. When I was going to school, we used the old Texas Instruments engineering calculator although most of our time was spent figuring out how to program them for games.

I started searching around for a good calculator, and then started wondering what’s the best engineering calculator now days? (That’s such a Seanism: “What’s the best?!) These things look like microcomputers which are no doubt way more powerful that my old laptop used to be back in that day - even with all 133mhz of power that it used to have.

Anyway, I’m not looking to go back to engineering and even if I was, I’d be no good at it since my math skills are pretty much toast after not using them for years but I do want to pick up a new calculator and was thinking about something that would be more than just a standard one, and those engineering calculators have a nice big screen on them so you can see the history of what you’re doing.

Wonder if someone has any suggestions? Paul, Greg? You guys are kind of savvy, what do you think?

My New Car - I Finally Did It

It’s been a long time (for me anyway) since I bought a new car, and I finally gave into temptation. Here she is, a BMW 335i with 6-speed manual and 300hp. I have a radar-detector on the way too.
