RE: Are there any famous movie scenes that feature a HP Voyager series calculator?
Don't recall seeing a Voyager, but there's an absolutely hilarious scene in the anime "Rocket Girls" involving what's clearly an HP 41c series.
The scene is that of a young girl studying to be an astronaut, and the class is on Hohmann Transfer orbits. Her instructor shows her how to work the problem and suggests she do it. He tells her to use the calculator on her desk: she picks it up, and exclaims "There's no equals key!" It's CLEARLY an HP 41c series (though the Japanese are quite cautious about trademarks, so there's no company logo on the machine). What makes it hysterical is that the instructor then goes off on a rant about how RPN is so much more superior, and that he'll pound it into her head so she'll never be able to use a "normal" calculator ever again! Daily drivers: 15c, 32sII, 35s, 41cx, 48g, WP 34s/31s. Favorite: 16c. Latest: 15ce, 48s, 50g. Gateway drug: 28s found in yard sale ~2009. |
