Re: May 2021 Speculations
Perhaps, it’s the announcement that HP is selling all the calculator IP, inventory, and marketing channels to SwissMicros for cheap so SM can build next gen equipment with Swiss reliability and build quality. ... Far fetched, but intriguing to imagine.
DM42 (#6476), DM41X (#458), DM15, 12 - HP 12, 17BII, 35(2), 45, HP 27S, 28S, 30B, 41CV, 41CX, 42S, 48S, 35S, HP10bII+, 12C PLAT
I may have a problem!

Re: May 2021 Speculations
More like they’re upset that SM more effectively outsourced to China than HP, and so they’re going to sue everyone out of existence.
Re: May 2021 Speculations
That would definitely be a good resolution for SMs next gen.

Re: May 2021 Speculations
Aha!
Swiss Micros has bought the HP Calculator Division...

How? when? where?

Re: May 2021 Speculations
I wasn't aware that HP Calculator Division encompasses two peoples nowadays still. Must have missed something.
WP43 SN00000, 34S, and 31S for obvious reasons; HP-35, 45, ..., 35S, 15CE, DM16L S/N# 00093, DM42β SN:00041
Re: May 2021 Speculations
Actually far less than 2. Only part-time from those 2 persons, and for 2020, almost none of that at all... An inglorious ending for such an inspiring and creative team for so many years.

And I hope we'll manage to get them both to our next HHC whenever that will happen.
