Re: "Classic" HP Calcs Message #2 Posted by Elton Toma on 6 Oct 1999, 12:14 p.m., in response to message #1 by Joe Panico
I suppose I agree, especially for the 48S and 48SX. These still look like HP calcs to me, with blue and orange shift keys, black case etc. The keys are similar to the 15C in feel, but different from the 41. I never liked to look of the 48Gs, and I won't comment about the 49. However, I think the 41 was probably the last HP sold which had special display cases set up in University book stores, with all the optional bits for sale in nice boxes. Owning an HP then (mid 80's and earlier) was special, more than it is now.
Perhaps a true classic HP has an LED display?
Elton (As an aside, why does the 49 need to look like a 'game boy', and would you have one on your desk at work?)
