HP Museum and Newspapers Message #1 Posted by Gianmaria (Italy) on 4 July 2002, 2:38 a.m. Hi there, last week the local newspaper (Giornale di Brescia) has dedicated a big article (italian language only) to my HP calculators collection and how it means for me and for the history of technology. You may be able to see it, and a photo of me near the "HP glass", pointing the browser here: http://www.giornaledibrescia.it/giornale/2002/06/30/17,PRIMO_PIANO/T5.html Take note that speaking of HP calculators I've cited as reference the HP Museum, you will see the link at the end of the article. Happy July 4 to all! Gian

To bad about the italian language, it would be nice to se an english translation of it though ;-) I really like your rack. It looks very nice, and I would like to se some more pictures of it. As I'm in the middle of building a displaying rack of my own right now, I think it would be great to se some other racks for displaying our calculators... Thanks! Johnny

That´s a nice way to show your work and talent. And Johnny, try Altavista, Translate, Italian to English, Tranlate a Web Page and copy-and-paste Gianmaria´s page address. The results is an English version, readable page. I can get some Italian words, but I also needed the translation to understand some expressions. Hope it helps.

Re: HP Museum and Newspapers - machine translations Message #5 Posted by Dave Shaffer on 4 July 2002, 1:50 p.m., in response to message #4 by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) I tried Luiz's tip on altavista translation of the article about Gianmaria's collection. While I certainly now know more, the translation is pretty rough! I was especially amused by "but that he did not succeed to ignite" in reference to, I presume, a calculator which would not "turn on." Despite its shortcomings, the altavista site does seem to be a good place to visit if you need a quick and dirty translation.
