HP-17B

HP-17B code name was Trader and it belonged to the Pioneer series of Hewlett-Packard calculators.[2] It had a 132x16 LCD dot matrix, 22x2 characters, menu-driven display,[3] used a Saturn processor and had a memory of 8000 bytes, of which 6750 bytes were available to the user for variable and equation storage. The HP-17B had a clock with alarm that allowed for basic agenda capabilities, as well an infrared port for printing to some Hewlett-Packard infrared printers.

HP 17BII

The 17B was replaced by the HP 17BII (F1638A) (code name Trader II) in January 1990, which added RPN entry.

HP 17bII+

The 17BII was replaced by the HP 17bII+ in 2003. Two significantly different case variants of the 17bII+ exist. The newer 17bII+ (F2234A), introduced in 2007, with Sunplus Technology SPLB31A CPU was developed and is manufactured by Kinpo Electronics.[4]

gollark: Yes, this is I believe around the lifespan of worker bees in winter.
gollark: > However, worker bees that are born before winter will live 4 to 6 months. Their main job over winter is to keep the queen warm. They take turns being on the outer edge of the cluster where it is cooler, and circulate back towards the center where it is warmer.This might be where you got it from?
gollark: I see.
gollark: <@102038103463567360> The sources I can find on honey bee lifespans say it's only 6ish weeks.
gollark: @ubq323 how is progress with the apioformic rewrite?
