Any ideas?
Out of curiosity, HP calculators in movies or TV series?

Yep, The Hp-65: superstar in the french movie "L'ordinateur des pompes funèbres, 1973" from Gérard Pirès. It is originally a book written by Walter Kempley: The Probability Factor You will find a very nice description of the film on Noël Jouenne's website. Fluency in french compulsory.

Yes sir!!! I remember seeing it in Limoges, France, in 1978. on a Sunday afternoon at the hotel's main lobby TV. I was sitting in the lobby and watching TV and boom ... came that movie. I almost fell off my chair--here I am watching a movie about the HP-65!!! Thanks for bringing the memory. Namir

There is a sketch drawing of what is clearly a HP calc used in a current beer ad in Australia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=886H3CXYR5o&feature=related Dave. ▼

Very funny ad! You have to pinch yourself watching this because they get all the mid-80s stylings perfectly.

I think we had a similar thread some years ago, and I remember a quick appearence of a HP-48 in "The Specialist" (1994). |
