Well I finally got my EE application card :)  However, it came right
AFTER my last EE exam for this term :(

As I promised, here is a quick description of the EE card.

The main menu has the following items:
   Equation Library
   AC Circuits
   Fourier/Laplace Transforms
   Ladder Network Analysis
   Transmission Lines
   Two-Port Networks
   Constants Library

The Equation Library has 11 categories of equations.
The AC Circuits section has 9 categories.
The Fourier/Laplace Transforms are a table and they can be coppied to the
   stack.  The following are also available:
     Pole/Zero Analysis
     Fourier Coefficients
     FFT
     Inverse FFT
The Two-Port Network option gives the followin:
   Circuit Performance
   Paramter Conversions
   Cascade Connections
   Series Connections
   Parallel Connections
   Series-Parallel Connections
   Parallel-Series Connections
The Constants Library has the following categories:
   Universal Constants
   Physical Constants
   Silicon Properties
   Magnetic Properties

In general the card seems to be rather nice.  All of its functions are accessed
through a nice menu program.  The font used in the menu program can be switched
between a small font and a large font at the press of a button.  This is really
nice.  The only problem that I have had with it so far is that it will not put
the two-port parameters on the stack when I as it to do so after calculating
the parameters.  If anyone else has experienced this please let me know.  I am
planning on contacting Sparcom about this *BUG*.  And, yes it is a *BUG*
because it does NOT do what it is supposed to do!

I would like to thank everyone who voluntered to post this for me.  As you
can see, I got the card before I left and was able to post my self.  Thanks

Sincerely,
Jason P. Meyers
