HP71B - My favorite HP Message #2 Posted by Mike on 22 Aug 2010, 10:38 a.m., in response to message #1 by Jerry Raia
I wonder if I have a copy of the program. It's probably in the LIF archive somewhere.
I have owned over 200 of these devices over the years. I'm down to 3 right now, I think. Well, 3 that work. I probably have a dozen or so in various states of decomposition. The most I ever bought at one time was 24. .
I love the HP-71B. In my opinion, it is the best handheld that HP ever made. I still use one at work. I have owned almost every handheld that HP ever produced. The HP 71B and the HP 41 were two calculators that I drove from Seattle to Corvallis, on the day of release, to get one. I still remember having to beg one of the sales staff to take one home and I'd pick it up at his home, since I couldn't get there before they closed. He obliged. :-) Direct from HP. That was service. Those days are gone. .
