Hello everyone,
I am not a collector of HP calculators in the true sense, but I enjoy learning about them on this great site.
As an HP user, I wonder if I'd have the guts to remove the labels from my calculators and still be able to use them happily without those great mens' names. I'm thinking of the UK author Will Self, who set about removing labels from his Volvo, going so far as to file off the name from the engine. I think he extended this to other possessions.
I hope this doesn't sound too daft, and I certainly don't wish to annoy the group. I've always had a kind of problem with labels, often being tempted to remove them from my bicycle frames which I love. In the end I don't think I'll be able. Show me the logo...
HP quality and honesty screams out of those early calculators, medical equipment, oscilloscopes etc. What a great company label intact or not.
Thanks, David
