[QUOTE="YFCvii, post: 150170, member: 3252"] I was born when a C1 was still in the Showroom. I grew up with the influence of an awesome Steam Engineer ... my Grandfather. He knew so many things inside and out. I remember, as a kid, wondering how the heck am I going to learn all this stuff. It was As Overwhelming as my love was for this man. He knew automobiles, locomotives, power generation, woodworking, watches and clockworks - just to name a few. All I could really do well was to be a sponge for information and lend a hand when needed. Then he retired and I thought, ok I can catch up on this stuff now. Then no sooner into retirement, Grandpa sat me down and put a box on the table. Told me we have something new to check out, opened the box and it was the first retail calculator from Radio Shsck. We had an awesome afternoon and I was able to discover so much about that calculator. Sorry if I’m boring here as I have never looked back from that day checking out the new stuff and sponging everything I can along the way. There will be nothing like the past and I am glad I was there. I also cannot wait to see what’s new to discover in the box tomorrow. Thank you for taking me back as I go forward. The C8 will surely not be disappointing because I have no expectations other than to be there to explore it first hand. One thing I have not done like my Grandfather was buy too many things the moment they hit the floor because for him it was something to take apart and put together ... where for me a lot is sadly made disposable. All good as I’m not making the old/new school rules 👍🏻 [/QUOTE]
