You can only get to them if you know to search for them. Doesn't seem like a sensible way to sell a product.

I would imagine that unlike Texas Instruments, the HP calculator division does not generate enough revenue for the company to really focus their resources on it. This is of course entirely HP's fault; HP is so far behind in the marketing of their calculators that TI would have to do something really stupid to lose their choke hold on the education market. It rather reminds me of the IBM PS/2 fiasco, far superior hardware and OS, with some extremely bad marketing decisions. We all know how that story ended...
