| Apr 20, 2016 at 16:54 | comment | added | Loktar | @ByteCommander this is the exact reason I came to meta, Consoles seem really out of place, it's not a "retro machine" SE site so I was really unsure on what exactly is considered on topic. retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/2/… newest question as of right now with 9 upvotes has to do with NES cartridges.. hardly retro computing imo. | |
| Apr 20, 2016 at 16:47 | comment | added | Byte Commander | What about game consoles? There are already a few questions about nintendo consoles and game boys, is that kind of old hardware also on-topic? Where do we want to draw the border to unsupported electronic devices? | |
| Apr 20, 2016 at 16:43 | comment | added | Robert Cartaino | Sklivvz, I don't know (personally) if programming calculators fade into "not considered contemporary to what is modernly available" (I still use my HP 15C every day), but if you have a question that folks might like to see from "the good old days" of programming calculators, I would just go ahead and ask it. [Incidentally, I suspect these should be on topic, much like our very loose interpretation of "hardware" on our Hardware Recs site. | |
| Apr 20, 2016 at 16:34 | comment | added | Sklivvz | @RobertCartaino it's excellent advice. I do have some questions about old programmable calculators, I thought i'd ask here first (but I didn't want to make this specific to my case). | |
| Apr 20, 2016 at 16:28 | comment | added | Robert Cartaino | Has this come up on the site? We've been veering away somewhat from hypothetical-problem discussions because either the problem never turns up in actual practice or the rules list grows beyond what is actually useful for the site. Just a tip from your friendly neighborhood CM. | |
