Hello Folks,

Happened again. Bent over to solder something at a client, the trusty HP11C slipped out the shirt pocket and hit the tile floor really hard. This time the asterisk blinked and gave me a scare since you can't buy these calculators anymore.

So, is there a good emulator for the HP11C? I found one here but it's missing important stuff such as SCI and ENG display of entries and results:

http://www.hpcalc.org/hp48/pc/emulators/

I can find lots of HP48 emulators, usually free/shareware, but I got so used to ye olde 11C.

BTW if someone else sees that asterisk in the lower left corner: It is the low battery indicator and after a fall you may have to clean the batteries, clean the contacts or adjust the contacts. Sometimes giving the batteries a twirl fixes it.

Joerg,

If you repost on comp.sys.hp48 you will get a definitive answer.

By the way, the new HP35S is very nice, and it has the BIG enter key.

Hmm, maybe I should consider getting one of these, if they aren't bigger than the HP11C. Must absolutely fit into a shirt pocket. A belt holster would be ok, too.

The 35S is about an inch longer than my 12C&15C, but almost exactly the same width and (average) thickness. It weighs about the same, too.

Get your shirts tailored, buy the 35S, and then tell your wife to fix that damn sink herself!


Well, the pressure cooker also needed some TLC. Sink will be done this afternoon. Saturday is Honey-Do day around here. But my wife is quite handy with tools. When I met her for the first time I was impressed that the purse of a marketeer contained, among the usual women things, a screwdriver, a pair of pliers etc.
