Is this old news to everyone - nice video from HP about calculators including an appearance by the HP Museum curator himself... ;-)

Kevin,

Thanks for the link. It was new for me at least. - The video contains some clear commitments of today's HP. Let us wait and see what real objects come out of them.

Dave,

you are looking much younger than I imagined :-) So the future of your (and our) museum looks brighter now than I feared. And my hope for a more complete coverage of the Pioneers and 48g rose ;-)

Best regards,

Walter

Kevin --

Thanks for the link. It was new to me, and I enjoyed watching the video.

I had some problems downloading the video directly at the URL you provided, but the following procedure worked:

Go to http://h20331.www2.hp.com/Hpsub/cache/457246-0-0-225-121.html?jumpid=ex_r2845_go/35celebration/calculators

and then do "save target as" on the text "35th Anniversary Video" or the photo above it.

Notes:

  1. The 7-minute, 35-second *.wmv (Windows Metafile Video) is 27.8 MB, not 8.6 MB as indicated.

  2. There is no mention of the excellent HP-15C, unfortunately.

There are also wallpapers and a screensaver.
If you try this one when comes the turn of the 41C you have a background image of an astronaut with a 65 in his hand while the didascalic picture is still a 35...
So we can all complain about our favourite! ;-)

Anybody found a way to save the FLV video you can find here?

Greetings,
Massimo
