To All:
I originally bought a 41C back in 1979 because I thought it was a cool calculator with a lot of promise. HP backed up that promise by releasing lots of modules and peripherals that allowed anyone to do just about anything with it, limited only by your imagination.
One thing I've never seen or heard discussed was how popular the 41C was in relation to its competitors of the time. Did sales figures show that it was the most popular high-end scientific calculator or did it end up a niche machine for HP fanboys like us? Was this machine the pinnacle of HP's penetration into the calculator market or was that later with the HP-48GX (a guess on my part)?
At that time, I didn't give a crap about how popular the 41C was as I just liked the machine. Now that I'm older, I'm wondering just how successful HP was with this product.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
