>I remember that one too. I had the Sharp PC1500 - same thing radio shack called the PC-1. I remember the Casio units were out at the same time but there was a few differences (don't recall what now as its been too many years) and I got the Sharp one instead. A year or two later the Sharp PC1600 came out, Radio Shack released there PC2 - same units just different branding. It has a 3 line display instead of a one line display. Coolest thing was it had this iiitty-bitty tiny printer that would print out on cash register tape - and had four tiny tiny ballpoint pens in it so it was a color plotter..hahaha. I remember getting a physics test handed to me in class one day. I turned on my handy pc1600, entered a few parameters in the program I'd written over the previous week, then a few seconds later the answers spit out on my tiny tiny printer. I took the little piece of paper - stapled it to my test (with my tiny tiny stapler I had) - turned it into the teacher, then sat back down in my chair and ate a sandwich and pepsi while my fellow students were feverishly pounding away on their calculators and writing bunch of stuff down...hahaha It actually turned into a big hoopla because a couple of the other students claimed I was cheating - but the teacher let me get away with it because of all the time I spent writing the programs (and thus understood the material).

Nice story. I wanted the printer, but was not on sale or was too expensive (do not remember which) but I did have (still have?) the FA adapter to connect the calculator to the cassette recorder to save the programs, so much ingenuity :)
