#hp48 — Public Fediverse posts

Many years later, as she faced the firing squad, Christina remembered that distant afternoon when she used her calculator to log into her laptop.

Now that's a lovely blast from the past!

Gotta say, I do miss the free #HP48[GS]X? emulators on #iOS.

Those were fun to play with.

This #HP48 is always within reach on my desk and I use it very often.

PS: RPN is the best!!!

I hope the hive mind can help me here...

I remember playing a #game, many years ago (so probably a #RetroGame by now) where you have to solve #puzzles of increasing complexity where you need to push "something" (in my mind, these were garbage bins??) onto targets. I think I played this on an #HP48 or #HP28 #calculator, or on an X-Windows system (possibly both).

Does this ring any bells? #BoostsWelcome!

Edit: it's Sokoban! It suddenly popped out of my subconscious mind!

I don't know why I haven't searched for this before, as I'm a huge #hp48 nerd, but here is x48ng, an #opensource HP48GX emulator project.

@adh @IvyMike really what we need for the phone apps is a little bluetooth or usb-c adapter to fit in guts of an original HP48 as a keyboard controller so we can use its lovely keyboard to control the emulator on our modern device. #HP48 #Emulator #ProjectIdea

@textfiles nice to see. I've been running a #hp48 app on my #android phone for ages. good to have a fall back if i misplaced my phone 😅

@ibannieto I discovered #RPN at university using #HP48
