Re: HP-27S "Technical Manager" vs. "Scientific" Message #2 Posted by Jake Schwartz on 25 Mar 2011, 11:30 a.m., in response to message #1 by Jim Yohe

Did HP entitle their HP-27S as "Technical Manager" then at some point then switch over the "Scientific", or perhaps that title was used for a specific customer base?
Hi,
Here are the words from the 1/4/88 HP press release:
"The HP-27S scientific calculator ($110 U.S. list) is designed for technical professionals in management. It has a wide range of technical and financial functions, including time-value of money, amortization, forecasting, trig functions, statistics and standard math and scientific functions...."
All versions of the machine I've ever seen do say "SCIENTIFIC" on the case, but they certainly intended it for a multi-disciplinary user.
