Probably this episode was inspired by a piece of soviet propaganda:

Barbosa Olá Gerson, Nice find :-) Anybody able to decode / translate what's written there? I con only decipher "PLUS xxxxxxxxx RABOxICH" in the orange rectangle and guess "additional work" should be added.

Barbosa on 3 Feb 2013, 8:42 a.m., in response to message #8 by Walter B Hallo Walter, I studied Russian for three weeks in 1980, so I can read a bit Cyrillic, but of course I understand close to nothing.

Re: Free emulator of the new HP-300S+ available ! Message #10 Posted by George Litauszky on 3 Feb 2013, 10:16 a.m., in response to message #9 by Gerson W. Barbosa Hello, It's a propagandiscic poster, I think. In the Soviet Union was a weighty economical crisis. So the Soviet government made 5 year economical planes. If the workers were so eager, to accomplish this 5 year plane only 4 years was enough.

Re: Free emulator of the new HP-300S+ available ! Message #15 Posted by John B. Smitherman on 2 Feb 2013, 9:14 p.m., in response to message #1 by Mic Is the application solar powered too? ;-) Regards, John

Re: Free emulator of the new HP-300S+ available ! Message #16 Posted by Namir on 2 Feb 2013, 9:39 p.m., in response to message #15 by John B. Smitherman Yes it is solar with a twist! The calculator's virtual solar panel is actually functional! It powers the host PC!! :-> Namir

Re: Free emulator of the new HP-300S+ available ! Message #17 Posted by Jim Yohe on 3 Feb 2013, 12:22 a.m., in response to message #16 by Namir Sounds like that's one very useful emulator. Use your computer while the application is running and not have to leave your PC plugged in. :-)

Message #19 Posted by Marcus von Cube, Germany on 3 Feb 2013, 8:34 a.m., in response to message #18 by Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove You can just edit the KML file and the keys start working. Feel free to create your own mapping as the default might not please everybody.
