HP's Quick Calc can't fool us

Nice try HP, trying to pull a fast one on us with this here Quick Calc. Turns out there's a calculator inside our computer, so we don't need none of your fancy Quick Calc shenanigans to spell "boobless" and cheat on our long division homework anymore -- we forked over good money for this beige tower PC, even went in for that "multimedia" package, and we're going to put it to good use.

Ok, I'll pass on this one, but the new HP 20B business/scientfic calculator looks pretty good. No programming or Solver, but it has a good mix of advanced finance features and math -- including trig functions. And it'll do RPN, which I've been using since my HP 25C in HS.

I'll stick with my HP 50g, kthx.

Is this a joke?

If so, I'm not laughing.

I've come to the point in my life where even simple pocket calculators are useless.

I have my good old trusty TI-89 Titanium.

That calculator won't even do square roots D=

I'd shoot myself if that's all I had. It'd be easier for me to do equations by hand in the end...
