The 5 ages of HP calculators... - Ken - 11-01-2000 A bit simplistic but it's the way I feel about HP at the moment. I'm sure you all can think of some other words to describe HP over the years: 1 Foundation (late 60's) 2 Innovation (early to mid 70's) 3 Perfection (late 70's - mid 80's) 4 Stagnation (early 90's - late 90's) 5 Immitation (late 90's - now) Ken :~)
Re: The 5 ages of HP calculators... - rudi - 11-01-2000 think there is another point: 6 quality:

Re: The 5 ages of HP calculators... - Ron Ross - 11-01-2000 I believe their aim is for a lower point between two curved goal posts or oval target that we all occasionally have to park our backsides on. Correct me if I am wrong.
Re: The 5 ages of HP calculators... - Frank Knight - 11-01-2000 Another word ending in *ation* actually comes to mind for the current period, but I hope the sequence of calculator events does not end with starvation and deprivation!
Re: The 5 ages of HP calculators... - Mike - 11-02-2000 The 48SX and GX are great calculators. I suspect they will
Notice how I left out the 34C, 38C, etc. The quality on those Re: The 5 ages of HP calculators... - Ken - 12-03-2000 It's a sad, sad fact that the 49G is nothing compared to my 10 year old beautiful 48SX, which has a display with a few missing lines. On being told by HP Melbourne this couldn't be fixed, I was "conned" into a 49G, my 5th and possibly last HP:<(
Re: The 5 ages of HP calculators... - Tom (UK) - 12-04-2000 Why don't you ask for your money back or for them to swap it for an HP48GX? The more people tell HP about how they feel about the current HP calculator line up (both for and against) the better.
Tom.
Re: The 5 ages of HP calculators... - Bill Duncan - 12-05-2000 I agree with your lineup, and leaving out the 30 series.
Cheers.
