It is back to school time and those adds on calculators from Office Depot
and Office Max stirs my interest to get a new one. The rub is keeping up
with the specs. The Texas Instruments calculators start with TI 73 through
TI 92 Plus and Hewlett Packard HP 32 II, HP 48G, HP 48G+, HP 48GX, and HP
49G.
I want just a little more calculator than I really need. I want a
calculator that can program all the sailing programs, or most of them.
On this list I have seen mention of both the TI 82 and the HP 32 as models
of preference for navigation. As one knows every year it seem manufactures
come out with a newer model or an improved one. Will the newer models
handle the same programs as the HP 32 and TI 82. Any suggestion.
Still...............
Learning the Hard Way!!
