Actually this is exactly what I would expect from the New Hewllett Packard run by Carly.

If it was made by hp it would have the hp logo and not Hewl(l)ett Packard written on it.

Unfortunately, today it's even possible that someone made it for HP, but I think it's homebrewn. The 'new hp' uses lowercease initials, a different font for the company name, and the logo. And, of course, they should know how to spell the name of the company.
However, even in the 49g+ manual, or was it the 33s prelim manual, were errors: The writer did actually write the company name with wrong letters !!!

I wonder if the use of capitals for HP and the spelling is a misguided (and probably unsuccessful) attempt to foil hp's legal eagles from trying to do him for copyright
or it could be just plain carelessness...

"I doubted that HP would make misspelled mug." ----> well, did you ever take a closer look on the frontplates of agilent digital scopes? on some of them you find the brand name "infiniium", while on boot-up, the display is showing "infinium". what a wonderful world. single letters can get "en vogue". maybe next intel processor is then named "pentiiiium", although i'd rather prefer "pentivm" for the 4GHz version, just in order to avoid punishment from my former latin/greek teacher...
cheers, hans
