He calls the HP-41 "infamous."

If this seller just wants attention, this is a very strange way to get it!

Interesting power supply system he devised. Sounds like he's one of us.

If he was one of us, he would not describe the 41C as infamous. If this modified calculator is hardwired, it is no longer 'really' portable as in shirt-pocket portable. Not something I would buy. Jeff

Not only that, but the seller states:

Quote:Which makes me think, "that's why this seller's photographed the charger face down so we can't tell the HP faceplate is nonexistent." But then again, a hardwired 'Archer' power supply (as seen in another photo lower on the page) is quite alarming in more ways than one,

Quote:That word conjures up the scene in 'Young Frankenstein' where Dr. Frankenstein's introduced with the phrase, "...whose family name is both famous and infamous." So, is that calc related to Frederick Fronkensteen?

This person has serious vocabulary limitation or in modern terms - "vocabulary-challenged'.

I guess the seller may have meant "famous" and wrote "infamous"...just a typo. Or maybe he encountered the infamous connector between the 41 keyboard assembly and CPU board :-) Anyway, he drew attention here ;-)
