HP 48 sighting Message #1 Posted by db(martinez,california) on 4 Oct 2004, 1:57 a.m.
I watched a show about Spaceship One on Discovery Channel tonight. During a sequence where the ship had been dropped and was having control problems, they had to decide quickly to either land with a full load of fuel or to risk the burn. There was a quick shot of someone on the ground consulting his 48.
HP note: With all their computer power the bottom line was still something that works. That life or death decision was not made with his Apple or some Casio or TI or PDA. What it was made on was 15 year old technology.
