That was my favorite calc ever, lol. Those old Smoley tables were killed off by this beast. Anyone remember planimeters? I used one for mass properties. They have an app for that now, hehe.

I had been watching videos of Ft. Ancient pottery today and realized an old homemade drafting tool from many years ago might be useful in finding the approximate center and size of a pot from just a shard. I think I will try to introduce it to the archaeology community.

I left my first 12C in a NYC cab, after some meeting. I was so peeved at myself.

I bought a new one and still have it.

I also have the official 12C app. Candidly, the physical keys are so much better. And call me crazy, but when press i to get the IRR on the app, it gives the answer immediately vs the flashing “running” on the handheld - it just ain’t the same!
