Scientific American adverts and articles Message #1 Posted by Gordon Dyer on 13 Nov 2002, 6:05 p.m. Can anyone email me scans of the Scientific American adverts or articles referred to in the museum books page? http://www.hpmuseum.org/book.htm Thanks, Gordon Dyer

Re: Scientific American adverts and articles Message #2 Posted by Katie on 14 Nov 2002, 2:26 a.m., in response to message #1 by Gordon Dyer I have the September 1977 issue of Scientific American, but there's nothing in it about HP calculators that I can find. And the usual HP calculator ad from back then is conspicuously absent in this issue, most likely because there's a big TI ad for their 58 and 59. There are some small ads selling HP calculators, but these just have prices and there's one American Express ad with an HP-80 in it. I don't know why Dave cited this issue.

If anyone else has a Scientific American with informative HP calulator adverts I would be very interested in a scan.

Did you see these? Message #4 Posted by Jim L on 14 Nov 2002, 7:53 p.m., in response to message #3 by Gordon Dyer http://www.hpmuseum.org/adverts/adverts.htm I think these are the ones he means.

Re: Did you see these? Message #5 Posted by Gordon Dyer on 15 Nov 2002, 5:11 p.m., in response to message #4 by Jim L Thanks for pointing out the museum advert page, I should have found it myself! A lot of the things I was looking for are there, but I also hoped to see the original scans from Sci Am.

Re: Scientific American adverts and articles Message #6 Posted by barry on 16 Nov 2002, 5:44 p.m., in response to message #1 by Gordon Dyer just now bought the February '87 issue of Scientific American; inside front cover and first page is a two part advertisement for the HP28C; scanning in a little bit. how do i post the darn jpg's here? i suppose i have to write HTML code in my post? either that or i just post a link to my webpage (but i would rather it was a hyperlink than a mere text link). by the way, i passed on another edition of Scientific American that had a two page ad on the "HP Portable"; what model was this, and should i go pick this up for the museum folks? looks more like a PC than any calc oriented HP. tnx, barry carson city, nv
