Due to the simple loop-based algorithms, the speed of the Sinclair Scientific calculator varies from good to horribly slow depending on the values. For instance, sin .1 takes under a second, but sin 1 takes about 7.5 seconds. Arccos .2 takes about 15 seconds. Log and antilog have the overhead of recomputing the constant 229.15, and take about 1 to 2 seconds. In comparison, the HP-35 was designed with a one second deadline for computations.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

That is classic British engineering. Amazing what really clever people can come up with given very limited resources.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment
