    Joel,
    
    I wonder about your statement that the NC-2 still does what it was designed
    to do.
    
    The NC-2 was sold 1976 and 1977. Replaced by the NC-77 in 1978...a classic
    calculator which continued in production until 1991. It was replaced by the
    NC-2000 (mainly?) because the almanac in the NC-77 falls over post 2000,
    see:
    http://www.tamaya-technics.com/nc77user.htm
    for a fix to keep it going until June 23, 2007.
    
    I have a vague recollection that the almanac in the NC-2 falls over sometime
    in the mid 90's...can't be sure.
