Greetings,

Sorry if this is old news, but I had not noticed it on HP's site before, and I could not find a reference to it here.

Thanks for posting the link. I hadn't read the article before.

Perhaps its just window dressing, but there are a couple of things that I found positive, among them the comments about the legacy models. Er, does this mean they are going to start re-manufacturing the 41cx? :p

However if I am a business type, someone's calculator running for 15 years does not make my company any money. I need to sell more calculators to do that.

To attract the newer user, HP will still continue to manufacture calculators that look like the 6s and 9g - sleeker, slimmer, smaller, and above all cheaper.

I REALLY REALLY want to believe in this re-birth of HP calculators. I hope HP will re-create the quality and craftsmanship of previous years.
