[sdiy] Extreme DIY?

[Fdi]

In the 80s, when I was about 15 years old, I  used an HP calculator as an
impredictable  complex sound generator by calculating long sqaring roots
with the device near the antenna of my radio. I may have some tape somewere.
It was a delicious experience!
Cheers,
Fernando
