Giant HP calculator ? - Gilles - 05-29-2019 09:27 PM
Objectif demain - is this an HP calculator ?
This was on the french TV in 1981...
What is the giant calculator at the begining? was this made by HP?
It seems to work exactly like a desktop calculator (run and program mode…) but in a mega size format ;D

Nice find ! This is likely a giant promotional HP-33S similar to the one pictured here in Melbourne and also referenced in the middle of this article.

Finally caught you.
33E (or maybe C, but I doubt they made 2 of those)I initially thought it was a 34C, but checking the KB layout confirmed not.

Leave alone the calculator, what about the Mondrian sweater?
At least there were Tangerine Dream as the title soundtrack! :D

You guys are really demonstrating your age ... that sweater is a killer!
Nice finds ;-)

Another excerpt :

Just to add to the conversation, Jo Vandale from Belgium did a presentation on the "giant" HP33E (which he acquired and repaired) at the British HPCC group's 20th-anniversary conference in September of 2002. A picture of his unit is on the cover of the HPCC Datafile magazine Volume 21 Number 5 (Sept/Oct 2002) and there is brief mention of it within the issue as well.

There is not such pocket. The concept here is that it is _you_ who can fit in the calculator ...

I think I can make room for a giant HP 33C.

How philosophical!
It does fit in my wife's purse, though.
