Back when HP was known for outstanding calculators and not for shitty printers.
Even in 1972, the idea of “you won’t carry a calculator with you everywhere” was bullshit.
Sometimes I think about a parallel alternate history where the portable computing device grew out of the calculator not the phone.
“Not as clumsy or random as a phone. An elegant computing device for a more civilized time.” - Obi Wan Kenobi
Adjusted for inflation, this device cost five hundred dollars.
Let me have fun
did you use a calculator for that
And how much does the phone they did it on cost? More than $500 I bet
RPN baby!
RPN.
