Re: May 2021 Speculations
I think we agree to disagree (MATRIX only used during programming??).

Re: May 2021 Speculations
@Walter I see little purpose in discussing this subject any further, since it seems that there is zero room for agreement in our positions.

Re: May 2021 Speculations
In the USA, at least, it doesn't matter if it's in production or not. If there's no copyright notice in the ROM somewhere, it's fair game for anyone to use. Does the 35s have such a notice?

Re: May 2021 Speculations
Well, the manual says © Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. , so I suppose that applies to the calculator itself.toml_12953 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 11:37 pmIn the USA, at least, it doesn't matter if it's in production or not.

Re: May 2021 Speculations
Yes, that would. So we'll have to wait until 50 years after HP goes out of business.HPMike wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 12:06 amWell, the manual says © Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. , so I suppose that applies to the calculator itself.toml_12953 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 11:37 pmIn the USA, at least, it doesn't matter if it's in production or not.

Re: May 2021 Speculations
Maybe a non-HP based RPN calculator...
Re: May 2021 Speculations
Perhaps a better way of saying it would be “an HP-inspired RPN calculator that isn’t necessarily an emulation of a previous HP model.” Better, but built with the same calculator paradigm in mind. Like something HP would have built if the original team was still in the game.

Re: May 2021 Speculations
Why not a just compilation of scientific+financial+computing = HP15c+HP16c+HP12c
On the same DM42/DM41X pateform?
Very powerful? May be easy to port? No menus! No?

Re: May 2021 Speculations
It's easy to calculate the number of functions you can feature if you don't allow for menus. Please compare withe the sum of 15C, 16C, and 12C functions and specify the number of prefix keys you want to spend.
