Ugly and redundant, but it still makes me smile because it's the HP-41CX extended font. And a goose.

Nothing ugly about that goose! Even after almost 40 years, it still makes me smile...
Thanks Joe!

Re: DM-42 in HP-41 font
The goose!
Flying into Toronto and I had an HP moment:
The ATIS (automatic terminal information service aka the actual weather) stated that a “goose” was affecting all runways.
It was 05:30 so I asked: how big was the goose or conversely how fast was it to be able to affect all 4 runways simultaneously!
10 minutes later the ATIS Stated that “geese” were affecting all runways.
Point being, every time I hear “goose” I think about my synthetic routine that ran the goose backwards with droppings.
Yes Bob, nothiNg ugly about the goose!

And that reminds me of the many fun HP-41 displays that decorated the HHC 2009 website, such as this one, which includes a backwards-flying goose with droppings!Geoff Quickfall wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 2:58 amPoint being, every time I hear “goose” I think about my synthetic routine that ran the goose backwards with droppings.

Those are some precision droppings, LOLJoe Horn wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 3:22 amAnd that reminds me of the many fun HP-41 displays that decorated the HHC 2009 website, such as this one, which includes a backwards-flying goose with droppings!Geoff Quickfall wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 2:58 amPoint being, every time I hear “goose” I think about my synthetic routine that ran the goose backwards with droppings.
I recalled seeing this in the past, and in fact when reading the above, but not when/where it was. I should have thought of HHC, a very natural place for precision goose droppings.
