I'm really liking this Section of the forum, some photos are very beautyful. Here there are some shots taken by me putting together some calculators and some pens. Unfortunately the quality is not very high.

I use a HP 49g+ and a TI-84 Plus Silver Edition, I believe. My "school" pens (not actually like a cheapie Sheaffer's) are a Sheaffer's Skripsert with red Skrip ink, a Sheaffer's Tucky Vac-Fil Crest Deluxe, and its matching pencil. I may take a picture later! After all, I do love photography! (and fountain pens!!) ((and calculators!!)) (((And ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING!!)))

P.S. I want to be an E.E. when I grow up. My dad was one; now he's an OBGYN!!

Don't cry over spilled milk...cry over spilled ink!

Oh, yeah! genny, I see as though you like RPN as well as Electrical Engineering! That is really cool! I am just so used to algebraic that I can't stand for RPN. Although, I guess that it will have its uses for me someday!

These are from the 70s and 80s, I suppose. Does anyone know which MB I have? I can't tell...

My MB has the slightly hooded nib. It is a cartridge/converter fill pen. It has a small ink-vue with a pop-on cap. It is all gold and black, essentially. It writes well with a fine to medium nib.

 

This next picture is a little better for showing the MB.

And my last one is the new stuff. I love my TI and HP, along with my ever-so-smooth Lamy Safari! Blue ink...cartridge.

If you try RPN you will not come back to algebraic. Your HP-49G allow you to use RPL which is a slighty modified version of the old RPN allowing general object (not only numbers) to be put in stack.

 

Good luck for your Electrical Engineering career.

The OMAS is beautyful, I have to begin to save and take one. Of course I never will write a mathematical expressions in red biggrin.gif

Well, I really do want to be an E.E.! I just think it is easier for typing really really big equations and numbers for using algebraic. But I like a lot of old stuff, which is why I have a slide rule. I also have an Additator, a calculator that adds and subtracts! It's really neat, too. They actually used to put it on the back of some slide rules, so that way you could to everything!

HPs all the way! They can do so much more than a TI, I think, but are not as user-friendly in my opinion. At least they come with a good user's guide biggrin.gif ! I like the 49g+ a lot. I got that one for Christmas. I just can't wait to get off to college (Georgia Tech, maybe MIT) and use it, but that will be maybe 4 or 5 years away...Pretty soon, though!

Since it seems that you like HP calculators, I'm posting another couple of photos.

 

First photo is a cheap OMAS DS pen (strange, but there existed cheap omas) with a HP-19BII

Second photo is a Zenith 15 (??), I bought in Warsav when I was student (just before the collapse of comunist government there), with a HP-28C

I'm probably dating myself here, but my Hewlett Packard 48G was the best purchase I ever made during my undergraduate career. It was worth its weight in gold, probably more. happycloud9.gif happycloud9.gif happycloud9.gif

I was luck enough to be given a 48GX recently. After having owned and used a 48gII, I know why old school HPs are better.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
