You'd get along famously with Bill Wickes, former U Md. Astronomy professor, and later Hewlett Packard Calculator designer, who was responsible, in part, for the barn-megaparsec conversion example in the HP-48SX manual. (For the curious, lacking an HP-48 or HP-49, a barn-megaparsec is about 0.11 Imperial, not US, ounces.) Also one of the early Synthetic Programmers for the HP-41, which is how he ended up at HP when they were still good.
