I'm sure this link has been posted here before, but it seemed relevant to repost. It includes a photograph of Sally Ride and HPs on the flight deck of the space shuttle, and it describes how important these calculators were to the Shuttle Program:

How did you get it , is it possible to get it with a better resolution? (I would like to do a poster with it!)
I grabed the image with my TV card in my PC. The largest picture I can grab with it is what you see (640x480). Sorry I can't get better resolution.
I grabed the image from a 12" laser disc(anyone remember those?) from the IMAX movie "The Dream is Alive".
I setup my player the other night and was watching the disc and spotted the 41's in 2 shots. The other shot I grabed is darker and you can't see the 41's as well. I grabed a bunch of shots of each one.
If anyone wants to keep the pic grab it soon as I will have to take it off my web page soon. I don't know how many hits I will get on it and I have a cap on how many I am allowed.
I am happy you liked it. I was happy to see them. When I pointed it out to my wife she gave me a look and said. "Only you would see that" :)
