Tracie Earwood. University sophomore, plays around
with her new Hewlett-Packard 48 SX Scientific Expand
able calculator as she trios to figure out all it s capable
ol doing
Calculators put computer power in palm of hand
e can imagine that the original great
rnmds ot our world used lingers or rocks
or sticks, or perhaps even the sun to
calculate their most perplexing computations
As humanity progressed in its great quest to
find the ultimate in arithmetic aids the slide rule
was discovered, as was the abacus and eventu
ally what we know as the calculator
Slowly even that great invention was altered
and the pocket and wnstwatch calculators be
came the tools of choice
Since those long ago days of the passe
watch computer, solar energy has been mcorpo
rated to power our tally totes, but good luck m a
dark room
Welcome to the 20th century1
Boundaries have been stretched and limits
have been surpassed
True mathematical devotees can invest in
Hewlett-Packard s latest contribution to the calcu
lator community the HP line of calculators tor sci
ence and engineering consumers and the 95LX
Paim Top personal computer
Hanging in prce from $50 to $550. these high
tech tools let math mavens experience the ulti
mate in compulation aids
The HP 48 SX Scientific Expandable (about
$350) otters an increasable memory ot up to 288
kilobytes arid actually tailors its lunctions to the
user w4h up to 256 kilobytes ot plug-m applca
tion cards
The application cards can best be likened to
the discs ot regular personal computers The
cards sell for around S'00 each and expand
memory to play a game ot poker or turn the cal
cutator into a personal organizer
Granted the 48 SX may eventually make your
re a bit simpler, but actually weeding through the
852 page double volume instruction manual am t
so easy
it amazes me, but I really haven't figured out
everything it can do. said Traoe Earwood, a
sophomore computer science mapr arid 48 SX
owner
Earwood. who received the calculator as a
Christmas gift, has only scratched the surface of
tier latest toy s instruction booklet but says the
calculator solves an kinds of problems, including
algebraic and graphical ones And it does it all on
only three AAA batteries
'It's only abou! one quarter to an halt inch
thick, and it's totally compatible with a Packard
7/ amazes me, but l really
haven't figured out every thing it
can do.'
- Trade Earwood,
University \tuktrni
Bell IBM compatible PC, she said
Even more advanced, but perhaps destined to
boggle minds further, is He 95LX Palm Top per
sonai computer
For around $580, this 11 ounce calculator (if it
can even be called that) has a built-in read only
memory of one megabyte and includes memory
compatibility with Lotus 1-2-3, an appointment
booh, a phone booh and a memo editor
The l*quid crystal display is 40 columns by 16
rows with a typewriter like alphabet keypad and a
separate numeric keypad
It calculates figures percentages square
roots and everything a basic scientific calculator
might do, but this Palm Top personal computer
also displays graphs and enables the user to plot
an equation or mathematical expression It even
has a feature that allows users to zoom in on
chosen areas of graphs
The 95LX also has a built-in currency convert
or and the ability to figure business percentages
such as percent change, markup and margin
This hand held wonder even has the capability
to do data communication and can access mfor
motion networks such as a company's electronic
mail system or electronic information services
"This is a personal computer in something
that s a little bgger than three inches by seven
inches, and with serial interlace cables, can hook
up to a Macintosh or IBM computer,'' sad Univer
sity bookstore electronics associate Natalie
Eggert
! ve sold at least 10 of them. Egged said
when asked if there are really people shelling out
the money for this
Hewlett Packard also manufactures an HP In
frared Printer for $135 Ihat can plug into any of
the HP calculators or the Palm-Top and print out
data from the user s small screen
But even with all of the stuff these beauties
can do. buyers must still be prepared to invest
enough of their own brain lime fo learn how to
fully utilize the calculators
"That's one of the bggest deterrents for stu
dents, said Arlyn Schaufler, the bookstore s
electronics division manager
This advanced type of calculator frghtens
them, bul if (here is enough interest. Hewlett
Packard will gladly set up framing courses
they love the students, he said
Yep Spend five hundred bucks on something
tha! promises to do all the work for you, and you
still have to go lo class
