It also had infrared so you could even use chat apps. It was attenuated for short range precisely for this reason but obviously that protection was useless in the hands of electronics students.
I still have my 48GX. Though I never used it at an exam. As computer science student I simply never had any exams that required a calculator. I just had it for personal interests.
- Joeri 5y agoI only ever used that infrared to control the classroom vcr, to the absolute befuddlement of the teacher. Only time I’ve seen someone tap the side of a vcr to fix whatever is broken with it. I used the serial cable to hook it up to my computer and loaded it with minigames, to play during class. You can tell I was not the best of students.
- db48x 5y agoI remember the time I took a 1200 baud modem and a phone cord to school with me so that I could log into the county library system, which provided shell accounts, and check my email during class. My physics teacher didn’t seem very appreciative, but the kids with lesser calculators were impressed.
