what happened to Type I and II?
Junior
Type I and II are both still being used. Type III is supposed to be
the new improved deal but it hasn't quite caught on yet.
And Type I is called Cypherpunk; did you notice that that word was
used in The Lost Symbol? I don't think Dan Brown knew what it was
but it kind of surprised me to see it mentioned in the book.

OK sounds like a fluke to me....Fluke is still in bidness.....love the
little hand held Meters, they come in yellow....I think they should have
Pink ones for wimmins ;-)

I always wondered what they looked like. Odd that whales all seem to have
them.

them Fluke digital multi-meters cost a fortune back in the mid 1980's. Now
you can pick up a digital multi-meter for $10.

True....I used to order them for our military back then and they were pricey
and were considered accountable equipment....had to be inventoried every
year. I have been outa that bidness since 1999 so not sure if they are
still accountable. I remember when we had the first VCR Players, had 2
types Beta and VHS.....they cost over $1,000 if my memory is
correct......and they were huge. Oh and in the 70's digital adding
machines...the handheld type were very expensive and the new must
haves......damn I forget the brand........I must have ordered hundreds the
first year they were available....oh Texas Instruments<G>

Yeah, you just reminded me of the first VCR my husband and I purchased back
in the early '80s. Cost us $500 for it and I want to say it wasn't even a
four-head one. We got tired of having to rent one from the video store,
remember when they actually did that? The last VCR we bought cost less than
$50 and the home theater system we have now, which has the upscaling DVD
player (not Blu-Ray) was right around $200, I think, and that's with 5
speakers and surround sound.
I also remember the very first calculator we had in my family. This was
when I was a teenager. It didn't do much more than adding, subtracting,
multiplying and dividing. No trigonemetric functions, no calculus, no
graphs, etc. Was some TI one and it cost $200.
Amazing, isn't it?

I still have a Sanyo 4-banger that set me back $60 in 1974.

what part of *Sanyo* don't you understand? ;)
Marilyn
LOL...well, I had a stereo system that could beat even that price. It was
the poor man's Sanyo, the brand was called "Sankyo." Sold at discount
retailers. Got it when I was around 14 and still had it when I got married.
No idea what the price is because it was a Christmas present from my mom and
dad.

It's lasted this long, only the last time I used it I noticed the LSD was
burned out.

came out...anybody old enough to remember how much they cost?
