Radio Shack EC-4044

ec4044.jpg (23976 bytes)The Radio Shack EC-4044 is another Texas Instruments calculator sold under the Radio Shack brand name. Specifically, it's an OEM version of the TI-68. Only the color scheme is different; the buttons, their functions, and the calculators' characteristics are identical. A curious difference is that whereas Texas Instruments did not call the TI-68 as a programmable calculator, the EC-4044 carries the label "advanced programmable scientific".
