HP 50G...the last graphing calc from HP? Message #1 Posted by juan demin on 11 Mar 2010, 7:24 a.m. I found specific state-of-the-art software developed for TI 89 calculator. When I asked if they were thinking of producing it also for HP calculators, the Technical Services Dept gave me a quick and sharp answer: “no, because HP will no longer produce scientific plotting calculators” Ups…!!! Is it true?

They don't get any information until a product is about to be released. . . I suspect there was a misunderstanding somewhere. TW
