@wohali this is my calc, 1977.
@MightyBigCar This was our *family* calc, c. 1980. We had special function packs for it to do statistics and higher math that plugged into the back, as well as a barcode scanner that never really lived up to its promise.
I guess this was the second thing I learned to program? I should revise my bio.
@wohali oooohhh cooool
@bunnyhero it was a really neat device. it had a little bird that flew across the screen while it was "thinking" (i.e. looping over some program at ~360kHz, not even 1MHz!). One of the most sought-after "synthetic programs" made the bird fly "backwards" across the display the other way.
Here's some more pictures. I was very fond of our 41C, moreso than the 28S or the 48SX I still have.

@wohali Holy cow I would have loved having a calculator with a full set of letter keys. Can you program little text games on it?
