*leaving the "Who is best" debate to sales figures*

I see a big difference between calculators and computers.  They are
for different tasks.

When I was in college, anything I couldn't do on my HP 15C was going to
need time even more than power, and by time I mean *my* time and not
compute time.  If I need to work for any length of time, the interface
is everything and what is small enough to carry is too big for real use.

Now, give me one that I can talk to . . .
