C'mon Cliff let them have their moment

Not to be outdone by the competition, Fractal has decided to ALSO release old tech in a small form factor...

I think we all love gear around here. A lot!

We are all just selective and maybe a tad spoiled.

 

[Bob Zaod]

I mean if I really wanted rub it in I'd have made like a list of features with bullet points and all

 

[SwirlyMaple]

It FINALLY all makes sense to me: Fractal UI = HP calculator

this Racoon is clapping because

A) someone has ice cream
B) He has found a new home
C) you have placed an order for an FM9

Ha! When using my new FM9 this week, I had the exact thought: "this is the HP calculator of the modeling world and Helix is the TI." I'm probably overexposing my inner nerd there, but it's true.

I'm pretty sure "reverse Polish notation" isn't racist?!?

I only knew because my middle daughter turned out to be a genius.

Fractal even uses "soft keys" on the lower portion of the screen like a classic HP. Imagine how people's heads would explode if you had to enter your parameter settings in RPN

I have coffee most mornings with a guy who keeps a small HP calculator on the table because he's putting in various day trading orders while we sip and chat. The number of people that have recently seen it and mentioned how quaint and old timey it is has been overwhelming. One recent tourist's comment somehow seemed to be patronizing not only the use of a physical calculator, but our small tourist town and our small town way of life to boot that we near simultaneously and identically yelled "IT'S NOT OLD! YOU CAN BUY THIS NEW ON AMAZON FOR $50!!!" I think he left the coffee shop with a different sense of what our town is and what it's like to live here, compared to when he walked in.
