C'mon Cliff let them have their moment

Y'all made me reminisce on my ole TI-30. I loved that calculator!
(And the, just like today, the TI 55 came out. Or whatever the next one was.)

Hah! You just sent me back to 1983 for a moment and it was awesome!

'twas a time when nearly all digital watches played "Yellow Roads of Texas". Weird.

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.

Ha! I can relate. I'm the type who bought 3 new HP50g calculators when they were about to discontinue them, just so I'd have a supply at work when the keys eventually fail. For basic calcs, when you need to crunch numbers and do quick units conversions, nothing is faster. I lament the loss of calculators and tactile keys with smartphones replacing them... and I'm not "old" either!

I dare somebody to create an AI image of this:

C) you have placed an order for an FM9

Or

D) put in an order for something - indeed *anything* vaguely in the D&M space!

Best I could do was an 8-finger BBBBBIES

It would be a great idea to have a small format fx fractal but I don’t know how cheap you could build the hardware needed to not compromise on the quality of the fx compared to the FM3. It may just end up too expensive. I think the H9 suffered from this problem , it sounds a lot worse than the factor pedals with the same algorithms. Even if you substantially lower cpu and memory everything else still needs to be Axe 3 quality.

ngl, i loved how Fractal launched their new spring reverb firmware right when everyone was gushing about them in Fender's TMP.

Gapless preset switching too!

Tiny Desk has a lot of really good stuff. It's not necessarily always my thing but I love the concept - just cram artists in a small space and let them do their thing without big productions, backing tracks for vocal harmonies etc.
