Forgotten Poem - Jurgen Keller - 02-27-2016 05:50 PM

Today I just stumbled across a forgotten poem while tinkering with some HP stuff:

There once was this thing from HP
That fit in your pocket, you see.
A caveman would stare
And pull out his hair
And wonder, "What could this thing be?"


Who can guess the device I was playing around with?

A 35.

No, it's not an HP-35.

Must be an LX, probably a 95LX. First pocketable PC!

HP-200LX

Ha, I knew it was a mistake to publish it at two places, too many smart guys all around the corners :-)

There was a time where such Easter Eggs were quite common. There are others hidden in the 200LX, see HP-200LX Easter Eggs. I have to take some pictures ...
