The Calculating World with Wing and You

Invent

Published 15 February 2008, 04:01 PM

I was in our Headquarter building in Palo Alto this Monday.    Right outside of the executive office, we have a large window display filled with many calculators we invented since 1968.   While the world now is filled with many converging devices, PDA, PNA and other gadgets that I would like to have, I would rather have all these cool little classic calculators as my collection for the last 40 years.  And,  Yes, 2008 marks the 40-year of HP pocket calculators history.

 

There are few cool video in HP.com if you folks haven’t watched that before.   Please point to the highlighted words and enjoy the clip!

I've just posted an interview with Tom Osborne, inventor of the first two HP claculators, the HP 9100 and HP 35. He explains where RPN came from in some detail. It's here: http://www.edn.com/blog/980000298/post/800022280.html
