HP-35…It’s been 50 years already? Time flies - Matt Agajanian - 06-06-2022 03:28 AM

Hi all.

Does HP have plans to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 35?

Yeah, yeah. They did a thing with the 35s.

Not to be negative but so far, it looks like corporate HP has decided to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the development of the HP-35 by spinning off what is left of their calculator division to Royal Consumer Information Products (aka Moravia Consulting).

hopefully they will do something better to celebrate this anniversary.

They canceled the HP35s - and with it the last scientific RPN calculator. Worthy anniversary?

...the last scientific RPN calculator from HP.

Good thing I’ve got two of them and two 33s ones.

The HP-35s wasn't necessarily a brilliant achievement by HP - some bugs, no external storage and the makers didn't even understand the keyboard (e.g. ridiculous shift-arrows).

I had vague hopes for 2020 that HP would have released an improved HP-35s as 41s. Unfortunately, it was never improved and the 41-year anniversary of the HP-41 was ignored by HP, funnily enough, SM brought out the DM41X in its anniversary year.

After only a quick glance, OK, I'll take one please... Smile

Time flies to see how fast they fly.
