That was my first step into programming a pocket
device.
I remember that I traded my HP 34C (too complicated) for a HP 33C at the reseller, maybe the day after I purchased it...
Then, one week later, the HP 41C was released and I ask the favor to exchange the 33C for a 41C.
I must say that, compared to the TRS-80 I used to program (I was a Tandy salesman), it was certainly more complicated to program but far more powerful.
After several years of duty, it happened to be stolen in my office at Digital Equipment Corp. The company kindly accepted to refund me for the purchase of a HP 41CX...
