The End of an Era Message #1 Posted by Jeff O. on 10 Nov 2004, 7:51 a.m. I came across this, thought some might find it interesting.

Re: The End of an Era - for TDS? Message #3 Posted by Tom (UK) on 11 Nov 2004, 7:09 a.m., in response to message #1 by Jeff O. I read the artical breifly and found it a bit sentimental. There was no mention of the HP49G+ which does most of what the HP48 can do, a USB interface could act as a data storage and for input of data. PDA's and PC's have now taken over the role of the HP48 in this field.

Message #4 Posted by db(martinez,california) on 11 Nov 2004, 11:30 a.m., in response to message #3 by Tom (UK) Tom; Over here the most common replacements for the 48 are the Husky and TDS platforms (the TDS looks like Husky may have made it). Now that D'zign is marketing a program for the 49 we will start seeing some of them but since Ted doesn't like to support direct instrument hook-up they will be personal devices and the companies will still buy some kind of data collector. I have played with a PDA based GPS surveying platform. It was slick.

Re: The End of an Era Message #7 Posted by Eddie Shore on 11 Nov 2004, 10:38 a.m., in response to message #1 by Jeff O. Thankfully HP hasn't decided to stop producing calculators all together, otherwise I may not be here talking about HP calculators and being proud to be an HP convert. (I own two HP 49G+s as of yesterday)
