What I lusted for were the TI SR-50 and SR-51. What I wound up with instead
was an SR-11 IIRC. That was a bit earlier though.

My father had the 59, as well as several business calculators. (HP11C
and 17B I think.) The 59 stopped working and I don't know what ever
happened to it, but I still have the 2 HPs and they power up and the
keys and display work (as of a few years ago anyway).

I'm awfully tempted to get an HP 20 or 30 and install this firmware
though. It looks like it would be a lot of fun to play with.
