Will there be an (un)official HP41 day this year ? - Erik-M - 05-02-2020 12:05 PM

This year, somewhere in July, the HP41 is 41 years old,
Are there any plans to celebrate this here or elsewhere just for fun ?

Far from a celebration, but I usually leave here a reminder on july.

Well this year is special.
So I leave it to you to indicate the specific day.

Never waist an opportunity for a good party.

I know, I know: who didn't dream of a re-issue by HP?

Good, thanks. I'm in the LOTSA team.

The DM-41X is close enough to a re-issue this year for me.

And, the HP-41CL has already been available for some time.

Happy days are here again.

Yes, and I am enjoying mine very much.
That's why I added 'by HP'... ;)

Wouldn't that be nice, uh? But seriously, do you expect something like that form the HP ranks of today? Afraid they have bigger fish to fry... so sadly, I'm mot holding my breath.

Meanwhile - the latest WARP+Core version just came out and is a beauty to behold (assuming that is you're into sub-functions and Last-5 buffers, which may not be your cup of tea ;-)

Godspeed dear Coconut, you've fared well so far and hopefully will continue to do so.

I know I am a pest :-) but you are kind to me. haha.

Thank you for the 4/23/2020 update to the Warp+Core documentation.

Any chance of a QRG of some sort for the HP-41 printer ADVP Advanced printer rom ?

:-)

Thank you very much once more, Ángel!
If it weren't for that handful of you, passionate explorers...

The date is July 16th, 1979. From PPC Jouirnal Volume 6, Number 4, page 6:

I tried to get mine as soon as possible, but could only get it on July 30th. Demand was through the roof at the beginning.
