  Anyone got an FX-602P?         


Author: DeanB
Date: Jul 2, 2008 05:39

If by chance any of you guys have a casio FX602P calculator stashed

pretty much impossible to get nowadays. I used to dream about having
one of these when I was a kid, and I'd like to pick one up (before I
kick the bucket, you know:))

Thanks!

have to bite the bullet and write programs that will scale to such
systems.

NSFnet celebrates 20 years of Internet obscurity, inspiration
http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/29491

from above:

That was the email sent to users of the NSF’s fledgling NSFnet to
announce that the network's backbone had been upgraded to a “blazing
T-1 speed.” NSFnet was created by NSF a few years earlier in an attempt
to create a computer network similar to the Department of Defense's
ARPANET.
