XEQ P (the parallel resistance program :-) )

^^^ BTW, while everyone knows that the parallel impedance formula is 1/Result
= 1/Z1 + 1/Z2, for those of us who can get geeky with respect to calculators
and numerical methods, using Result = (Z1*Z2)/(Z1+Z2) is more accurate when Z1
is significantly larger or smaller than Z2... hence some of the motivation to
write a program to do it each time.


When I have anything worth programming, I do it in PowerBasic. It's
portable and archivable, and I can use double floats if needed. PB
even has 80-bit floats!

Is the new 35S okay? It looks complicated to me. I still have a couple
of HP35's that work, and they are ideal: simple, clean, and pi is in
plain sight.

They should have precisely cloned the 35!


Whimp.

Bad speller!
