<PS: Enron used TI's!!!!!!!!!!!>
I now see the true cause of it's fall;-)
As to HP calcs: do you really think HP-C will waste money and good engineers on something as unprofitable, as scientific calcs? I believe they'll have much bigger problems than rioting calculator fans:((((( Too bad there's nothing like open-source for the hardware.......

I guess you hve a good point Joe if sales figures are the problem. I'm not in a position to debate that one. One poit that is glaringly obvious,if you want to sell a trusted and sophisticated product to a equally sophisticated customers. a).It must be noted that you customers are discerning.
b).To have the product which challenges you discerning customers.
I feel Bill and Dave understood these concepts very well. Countless companys have little trouble charging hefty amounts of money for quality products,and they get it. Car makers have been doing it for the better part of a century.Inevitability is a choice in this case,I just happen to believe HP calculator customers deserve a little more respect than is presently happing. One hell of a lot of money has been made from previous customer loyalty. This may not be new news, HP here in Australia is respected on its past achievements, how it's seen in the future is what is taking place today. And that's not Inevitable.
