Speaking of videogame technology, Expansion Module #1 for the Colecovision. It was essentially an Atari 2600 without controllers that connected to your Colecovision. They quickly stopped selling them for legal reasons, but if you were lucky enough to get one before that (we were), then it was great. It's something that'd be completely unheard of today; imagine something you connect to your Xbox to play PS2 games or something.

On both simulators, it looks like ON/C clears the current screen but not the memory. I don't see an "AC" key on the device (although may I'm overlooking it).

I imagine it was something more like "unlike four-function calculators, our SR line reproduces all of the functionality of a slide rule!"

Mu Zeta posted:At least in the US a credit card is practically the same thing as a bank card or debit card. They function pretty much the same and are interchangeable, though credit cards are by far the most common. Admittedly, I may not have been clear on the difference before I got my first credit card, but the distinction is crystal clear at least in a bunch of east-coast cities.
